Original Toronto Star caption: The true presence of the King and the Queen was brought home to 12;000 veterans and countless other thousands who pressed about the impressive tower that is Canada's new national war memorial in Ottawa yesterday. A hush fell over the entire square as his majesty unveiled the memorial and bowed his head while tears came to the Queen's eyes.
