At Canada's first free-standing AIDS hospice, the arrival of one of the most famous women in the world brought with it a sense of hope and resiliency for those who found a pocket of compassion there, away from a world of deep stigma around the disease.
"We can of course obsess about the portrait of Diana, the personality of Diana, the mannerisms of Diana. But at the end of the day, what did she do…?
"To be in a space where she becomes a conduit or a way of reminding us that this is not so long ago, you know, and this history is worth honouring and recognizing as being in the air still — that's exciting art for me." "What the play I believe activates foremost is the notion of kindness. And kindness is not about being nice to somebody…. Kindness is risky, but what I believe the play is saying is that we have to take the risk. If we stop taking the risk of kindness, the world will become an unbearable place.""Maybe they just change us in the moment that we're experiencing them, or for a few days," he said.
Along with two parades and two regimental open houses — in Moncton and Sussex — there was a concert, a gala dinner and a church service during the three-day visit. Anne's visit was "an extremely uplifting event" that boosted morale for the regiment, said Burchat, who also had a private audience with her."What really struck me is how engaged she actually was and how interested she was in her regiment," he said. "She really took everything in this moment extremely seriously and wanted to know exactly how everyone was doing."
Thorne knows that within any community there will be people who have different views on the monarchy. "I understand those different points of view."
