Cpl. Nathan Cirillo Comes Home

Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24, was shot dead by lone gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau on October 22, 2014 in Ottawa, Ont., while guarding the National War Memorial.

Cirillo was a member of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada based in Hamilton.

On October 24, 2014, Cirillo's body made the journey home from Ottawa to Hamilton. Hundreds of Canadians waited along Main St. from Dundurn St. to Gage Ave. in Hamilton, to welcome the Corporal home.








Canadians joined together in singing O Canada as the hearse carrying Cpl. Nathan Cirillo's body passed by. People were clapping, cheering, taking photos and waving Canadian flags in honour of Nathan Cirillo.
