Thanks, Dan, and thanks to all who commented. It's hard not to be moved when witnessing these. IIRC this officer left behind a wife and two young children. A tragedy on all levels.
What amazed me (other than those spectacular long-coats that drape over the horse - obviously only useful for one, sad occasion) is those horses marching slowly down University Ave. in near perfect unison. I don't know how they could possibly train them to do that. Thanks again. Perhaps I'll re-post the companion-piece to this one. Cheers, frank "Daniel J.
