TORONTO – Thousands lined the streets of Hamilton, Ont. to pay their final respects to fallen soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was gunned down last week as he stood guard in Ottawa.

Cirillo’s coffin, carried atop a gun carriage to Christ’s Church Cathedral, was accompanied by members of his regiment as well as scores of soldiers and police officers marching to the sounds of muffled drums.

Here’s a look at a selection of photos of the procession and funeral from The Canadian Press.
