The Citizen, 1991-10-30, Page 2PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30,1991. Entertaining The Teeswater-based musical ensemble Soundsation entertained at Brussels United Church Sunday night as part of the 119th anniversary celebrations at the church. The choir and band performed inspirational music from modern songs to spirituals. Sermon message 'Out of This World' Brussels People Brenda Wheeler, Merilyn McDonald, Margaret Jarvis and Margaret's friend Eileen Armstrong spent Friday, October 25 in Toron­ to chasing Royalty around The group left Brussels at 6 a.m. and drove to Oakville, where they caught the 8:30 Go Train to Union Station. *The first taxi took them to Nathan Phillips Square (City Hall) for the official welcome of the Prince and Princess to Toronto. There was an estimated 5,000 peo­ ple there. Margaret touched Prince Charles hand during the walk­ about. Taxi number two took them on a wild goose chase — they got out at the same place they started from. When they figured out where they wanted to go, they flagged down the third taxi of the day, which took them to the Hugh MacMillan Reha­ bilitation Centre, where Princess Diana was visiting. The next taxi took them to Eatons Square for lunch and some shopping. The mall was full of sailors from the Britta- nia, who were looking for sou­ venirs. The four had the chance to talk to some of them for a while and found them quite willing to divulge information on the Royal Family and their trip to Canada. After, the group taxied to the Brit- tania and took some pictures of it. Much to their surprise, said Brenda, a van pulled up to the yacht and two young princes jumped out, and turned to wave at the crowd of about 30 people. Next another taxi delivered them to the Royal Alexander Theatre two hours before Princess Diana was to arrive to attend "Les Miserables". Brenda says you have to be a very dedicated Royal Watcher to be pushed around in the crowds, to be yelled at, and to stand in the rain for two hours to catch a two-minute glimpse of the Princess in her gown. "It broke our hearts to watch Merilyn's brother and sister-in-law walk into the theatre with tickets in their hands," she said. All four were interviewed, stand­ ing in the rain, by CFTO. Brenda says they told them what they would like to tell everyone. "We'd do it all again in a minute." The next taxi ride was back to Union Station to catch the 8:30 Go Train back to Oakville. The four arrived in Brussels at 12:30 a.m. "Although we would like to have gotten closer to the Princess of Wales, we had a very interesting day watching red carpets being rolled out, talking to police officers and watching the RCMP, observing the security measures, seeing how the media operates and how build­ ing light up with the flash of cam­ eras as the Princess walks in," said Legion celebrates anniversary, Sat.
