It was a beautiful day to be outdoors. In fact, the nice weather made it easy for many Torontonians to get out to Queen’s Park on holiday Monday to honour Queen Victoria.
The crackle of fireworks and the shots of big guns rang out during a ceremonial artillery. After all, you can’t properly salute a former monarch without cannons.
Soldiers, young and old, pulled the firing lanyard. Besides being Britain’s longest reigning monarch, Queen Victoria is forever linked with the straight-laced society of which she is an enduring symbol.
