I concur, a lot of older veterans have made their way to take part in all weathers, it is only right those there in attendance should have the courtesy to aknowledge that, remain and respect them as they march past because if it wasn't for a lot of them, things might have turned out a lot different.. I know how I would feel to have marched past to find everyone that came for the ceremony had sloped off early, that in my eyes is probably one of the more important parts of the event, the march pasts.
