Creative tributes to veterans include quilts, model planes

Traditional ways of marking Remembrance Day include wearing a poppy and visiting a local memorial, but some people put hours of work and a personal touch into their tributes.

One such event was a quilting bee at the Orleans United Church put on by Quilts of Valour, a Canadian organization that has donated over 6,000 volunteer-made quilts to veterans across the country.

Another was Marc Racine's display of about 150 First World War model airplanes, many of them personalized to replicate the individual pilots' decoration, at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.
