This ceremony is organized by the Belgian Last Post Association, a non-profit organization based in Ypres. This is the same association which is taking care of the daily ceremonies at Menin Gate, with the Last Post being performed at 8 o clock sharp, by at least six bugle players. This traditional final salute to the fallen is performed by the bugle players (all are active or past serving members of the local fire brigade) in honour of the memory of the soldiers of the former British Empire and its allies, who died in the Ypres Salient during the First World War.

  • Lieutenant Colonel (Ret’D) Dan Dempsey, Cd
    LIEUTENANT COLONEL (RET’D) DAN DEMPSEY, CD A pilot by profession, Dan Dempsey’s motivation towards an aviation career was fostered by his boyhood fascination watching the RCAF Golden Hawks aerobatic team perform. Born in Hamilton, Ontario to an air force father who worked at Mount Hope, he grew up near RCAF Stations Rockcliffe (Ottawa), Lincoln Park (Calgary) and Namao (Edmonton). His passion for flying led to a 23 year career with the Canadian Forces. A graduate of Royal Roads Military College in Victoria, British Columbia and the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario, he holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Science. Dan earned his private pilot license in 1972 at the Victoria Flying Club while attending Royal Roads and his Air Force wings at CFB Moose Jaw in June 1975. Having subsequently instructed on the CT-114 Tutor for four years, Dan was selected to fly one of the coveted solo positions with the Snowbirds (Snowbird 9) for the 1980-1981 airshow seasons. He then trained on the CF-5 Freedom Fighter and CF-104 Starfighter at Cold Lake, Alberta, subsequently flying the Starfighter with both 439 and 441 Tactical Fighter Squadrons based in Baden-Soellingen, West Germany. Returning to command 431 Air Demonstration Squadron in 1989 and 1990, he was honoured to lead the Snowbirds through their 20th anniversary and 1,000th official performance. A distinguished graduate of the Canadian Forces Command and Staff College in Toronto, Dan was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel following his Snowbird tour and served as Executive Assistant to the Commander Air Command where he was successful in initiating several important air force heritage projects, including the designation of CFBs Bagotville and Cold Lake to 3 and 4 Wings respectively following the closure of Canadian Forces Europe.
