Candlelight Tribute Recall Fallen Veterans
Victory Cross/Honour those who liberated Holland
A Commemorative Candlelight Tribute will celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the victory in Europe and liberation of Holland.
The event starts with a parade on May 5th at 16:50 hours, featuring the Crescent Beach pipe band, Veterans - of war and peacekeeping service as well as colour parties and cadets. The parade will go through Victory Memorial Park to the Victory Cross, after which there will be a special service to honour Veterans at 17:00 hours.
Some 2,800 flags and candles will be placed on the graves of those who have served their country, a local version of a ceremony that began in Holland in 1946 when the Dutch children placed lit candles on soldiers' graves to honour fallen Canadians who helped liberate the Netherlands.
Vintage aircraft will fly over the tribute at 17:15 hours.
Parking for the ceremony is available adjacent to the chapel on the 28th Avenue and 148th Street entrance in South Surrey.
Following the ceremony, participants and guests are invited to the Royal Canadian Legion hall at 2643 128th Street in South Surrey.
