Original Toronto Star caption: he Last Post: RCMP pallbearers stand at attention over the grave of John Diefenbaker as a bugler plays the Last Post after a graveside service for the former prime minister. His stepdaughter, Caroline Weir, left, drew a tissue over her eyes as she looked at the coffin of her mother, Olive Diefenbaker, left foreground, who was reburied beside Diefenbaker at his request. Rev. William Wood led the assembly in prayer. Having fought the last fight, they have now won the victor's crown.
