‘End of an era’: TerraceBC Legion honours Queen Elizabeth II
A solemn crowd held an intimate gathering at the Royal Canadian Legion in Terrace on Monday to mourn the passing of the late Queen Elizabeth II. After laying poppies in her honour the gathered crowd sang God Save the King. Patrick Hall of the Terrace Pipes and Drums Society, who serves as the band’s historian and honorary pipe major, led the procession.
“You’re a little bit nervous and a whole lot honoured to have the opportunity,” Misfeldt said of meeting the monarch. Misfeldt was a leading air woman in the Air Force Police during the early 1960s and worked during her time as dominion president to protect the services and well-being of war-time veterans.“It is a whole lifetime and then some for me and for most of the people where she has been a gracious Queen and the world has modernized. The Queen modernized to a certain extent but she was very traditional.”
