"God Save the King" - Coronation Day Parade, Vancouver at Recreation Park, 22 June 1911 with the 72nd Regiment. The photo shows the regimental band and Lt Col Leckie. Recreation Park no longer exists but it was bounded by Homer, Smithe, Hamilton and Nelson streets, a site now totally occupied by high rise apartments. There was a stadium and playing field. This same stadium and playing field was also used for solemn civic ceremonies, like those marking the death of H.M. King Edward VII. There are a number of photos taken from the top of the grandstand showing the entire field covered with various military regiments lined up to mark the solemn occasion. On another occasion it was used by a visiting circus.
