Sailors from the Royal Canadian Navy (left) and French Navy (right) provide a guard of honour during 1958 celebrations in Quebec City.
Navies and other military services have traditionally taken part in civic ceremonies and celebrations. As part of events relating to the city's 350th anniversary, warships from Canada, Britain, France, and the United States visited the city. Two of the visiting Canadian ships, HMCS St. Laurent and HMCS Saguenay, provided the personnel for the Canadian guard seen here.
