The Royal Canadian Legion hosted a "meaningful but small" Remembrance Day service in Halifax this morning, which was&nbsp;livestreamed&nbsp;so Nova Scotians at home could also watch.&nbsp;

COVID-19 protocols meant only invited guests were allowed inside the cordoned-off area at Grand Parade.&nbsp;

The ceremony included legion members, Nova Scotia's lieutenant governor, and representatives of the RCMP and Canadian Forces.

Members of the public can lay poppies at the cenotaph in the afternoon.
