In his own words: The lone bagpiper who breaks the silence at the National Remembrance Day Ceremony
Every year at Canada's National Remembrance Day Ceremony, a lone bagpiper breaks the 11 a.m. moment of silence with a performance of The Lament.

It was the second time he had done so.
Newstalk 580 CFRA's Ottawa Now with Kristy Cameron was honoured to get the chance to speak with Reid on Monday.
