Like all previous years, a small delegation of ours was invited to play at the “placing of the candles” at the Canadian War Cemetery in Holten.
The children were “piped in” from the entrance to the Cross of Remembrance.
This year, also Canadian children accompanied the Dutch children at placing the candles at each headstone.
This year’s weather was certainly not “Xmas like”, but resultated in a huge attendance and made playing the pipes a bit more pleasant.
Holten Canadese Begraafplaats kerstmis 2010Xmas 2010 Remembrance at the Holten Canadian War Cemetery
/in Optredens 2010/door mchightreeDe jaarlijkse kerstviering op de Canadese militaire begraafplaats in Holten stond helemaal in het teken van een “witte Kerst” , maar wel een koude kerst.
Dat verhinderde niet dat er veel kinderen waren om de kaarsjes bij de graven te plaatsen.
Maar de lage temperatuur zorgde er wel voor dat de muziek zowat “bevroor”
This year’s Xmas eve celebration at the Holten Canadian war cemetery had all aspects of a “White Christmas”, but that implied it was really cold.
The bitter cold even attempted to freeze the bagpipes
But this low temperature did not hinder the school children to place the candles at all the graves
