It was an early wake-up call for Montrealers who gathered to watch King Charles III's coronation at the Royal Canadian Legion's NDG Branch on Saturday.
The Legion opened its doors at 6 a.m.
"I thought it was a very important moment to come together and watch this ceremony, the coronation, as a group," said Legion treasurer Sean Frankham.
About 20 to 30 came to watch the historic coronation ceremony.
"I was actually very impressed at how it's going and how it looked," said NDG Legion president Bob Boutilier. "It is impressive."
The occasion held special significance for the veterans in attendance.
"I'm ex-air force, so for me, it's important because a lot of my friends still serve, and he's the commander of our armed forces, so we have a special relationship with the King," said Sean Frankham, NDG Legion treasurer.
