The Chief leaves the Hill

Original Toronto Star caption: The Chief leaves the Hill: Mounties carry John Diefenbaker's oak casket draped with the Red Ensign and the Maple Leaf from Parliament Buildings to the state funeral at Ottawa's Christ Church Cathedral yesterday. From there it was taken to Ottawa's train station, where crowds waited to say their goodbyes before his body was placed on the funeral train that is bearing the former prime minister across Canada to his beloved Prairies, where he will be buried in Saskatoon.
