Ian,

Thanks for posting the pictures. Looks like it was quite the event, and excellent weather for it. That's excellent to see. Just curious. Was any of the family of the Canadian pilot able to attend?

I'm also curious about the BBMF. Did they fly straight across from England, or did they hop across at a narrower part of the Channel, and then come down through France? I'd be surprised if they would come straight across, given the distance over open water. Would seem a little risky for the Spits, with no place to go but the drink in the event of any engine problems. But however they got there, it looks like they made a great contribution to the ceremony.

Well done.
