This photograph was taken in September 1982 during a Battle of Britain memorial ceremony
at Lee Park. The memorial has been a fall fixture in North Bay since 1950, taking place at
CFB North Bay, Lee Park, and Memorial Park.
The North Bay Pipes and Drums have participated in North Bay’s annual Battle of Britain
Memorial since 1952. As part of that memorial, the full band has led a parade of air force
veterans, serving members of CFB North Bay, cadets, and dignitaries. During the ceremony,
band drummers participate in a drum head ceremony and a lone piper usually plays a lament.
