It was a sombre scene along the streets of Abbotsford on Sunday, where British Columbians came to pay their respects to Const. John Davidson, who was killed in the line of duty.
Thousands of first responders, members of the armed forces, corrections officers and police — some from as far away as the U.S. and U.K. — formed a procession, led by bagpipers to honour their fallen colleague.
The procession, which began near the intersection of McDougall Avenue and McCallum Road made its way to the Abbotsford Centre, where a celebration of life was scheduled for Davidson.
Here are some images from the day.
