Original Toronto Star caption: Thoroughly enjoying the experience, Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery is accompanied by army of bare-legged youngsters as he strolls through Ottawa crowds on Parliament Hill where he reviewed a guard of honor formed by war veterans who yesterday marched 1,000 strong to meet Monty. The unexpected informality of the hero of EI Alamein delighted the capital where House members suspended their sitting for ceremonies which lasted half hour longer than planned while Monty chatted with veterans
