Canada Day in London



Yes, every year Trafalgar Square in central London is home to a crowd of Canadians (and curious onlookers) having a great time.



Not all that dissimilar from an Ottawa Canada Day, people dress up in red and white, bring a few drinks and balloons, and enjoy the sun.



As London is currently going through a heatwave, this gentleman's patriotism was particularly notable. Temperatures got to a little over 30C -- not the best weather for a long-sleeved shirt.




Of course it wouldn't be Canada Day without, er, curly fries...



...or encouraging sandwiches...



...and meat products that most Canadians have never tried.



But the greatest fun was watching the ball hockey tournament put on by Canadian banks and businesses. Watery-beer magnate John Sleeman dropped the "puck" for a game of ex-NHLers vs Canadian comics.
