My wife and I discussed attending this event, but have now decided to just stay home and see the coverage on CTV 2 later in the day. All the roads leading to the location will be closed, parking will be a disaster. They are expecting 1000's of people to show up, it will be just a walk past of the coffin and then right out the door again. It is very likely that it will be raining as well. RIP Mr. Lightfoot, your music will last until infinity, and beyond.Â

Back story:
Lightfoot’s funeral yesterday was reportedly a small, private affair with 50 close friends and family members attending, but local fans had an opportunity to pay their respects at a public visitation on Sunday.
Those who did witnessed a bittersweet moment as an unexpected mourner curled up by the late musician’s side: a dog named Taurus.
According to Lightfoot’s longtime publicist Victoria Lord, Taurus belongs to one of Lightfoot’s tour people, and they bonded while on the road together.
“He used to go on the road with him and wait for Gordon side stage,” Victoria Lord told Newsner. “Gordon loved dogs.”

I realized after posting that many people won't read the back story about Taurus in the replies below the tweet of the photo, thanks for sharing it SpinningWheel.
