How many of you remember this day? Freedom parade, followed by greeting the Queen at the Abbotsford Airport followed by a mad dash back to New Westminster to greet the Queen at City Hall. She must have thought we had a 200 member Regiment!

May 1971

This is a Matsqui Police officer standing on the road halting the Regiment. (Looks like he is saluting Adolf!)
