A Remembrance Day ceremony was held Thursday morning at Place du Canada in downtown Montreal.
Invited guests arrived at around 10:30 a.m. with the official ceremony taking place at 11 a.m.
While the Place du Canada ceremony is the main tribute in Montreal, it was smaller than previous years as it was not open to the public.
