The queen of england watched as the names of fallen Canadian soldiers from WW1 were flashed at the facade at Canada House on November 4.
The exhibit will run every evening until Remembrance day on November 11.
Starting at dusk, the names of the fallen were flashed in succession using a powerful projector directed at Canada House's upper facade, just below a huge Canadian flag.The event was repeated several hours later as the sun fell Tuesday evening in Fredericton, Halifax, Toronto, Ottawa, Regina and Edmonton.
In Ottawa, about 250 people gathered at the National War Memorial.

That's a pretty pathetic turn-out. What's wrong with Canadians? Too busy shopping at the malls, looking for tasty tidbits for their doggies, and uncontrolling their boorish children? What happened to Canadians?
