A million people came out yesterday in Toronto to line the route of the Raptors' victory parade.
Some staked out their positions early.
Others roamed freely along Lakeshore Avenue
waiting for the parade to begin.
Finally, we were all lined up, and the way was clear.
Bill and I found some high ground to get an angle on the action.
Toronto Fire Pipe and Drum band lead the way.
Why is the sound of the pipes and drums so stirring?
Toronto Police carried our flag.
First hint of the Raptors
The players themselves followed
The crowd cheered and ran along the parade route
alongside the buses carrying the players -- caught up in the joy of victory.
