Cornwall Represented at Queen’s Funeral in Ottawa and the UK

Many residents of Cornwall were watching last Monday, September 19, 2022, as ceremonies took place around the world to mourn the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Two individuals from Cornwall and SDG were honoured to participate in these ceremonies first-hand.
Chris Macdonell from Apple Hill, son of Barbara and Dean Macdonell, was one of 64 pipers and drummers to participate in the procession to Westminster Abbey and then to Windsor Castle. Chris was a piper for the Canadian Armed Forces before transferring to the British Army. He now serves as a piper for The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
Justin Towndale , our local mayoral candidate and member of the Canadian Armed Forces, was chosen as an honourary pallbearer at the mass that took place in Ottawa on September 19.
