So I have a flag party for Remembrance Day made up of 6 Cadet flag bearers, 1 French vet with a Tricolour and a Cadet Flag Party Commander.

National flags are:
Maple Leaf
Union Jack
French Tri-Colour

Other flags are:
RCN Ensign
UN Flag
City Flags (2)

They start out in two ranks on either side of a pathway, which the parade marches through onto the cenotaph.

Flag party then marches on with left rank wheeling left and right rank wheeling right. then turning to face cenotaph

After the ceremony flag party reforms two ranks and marches off to form up on the parade and marches back to the armouries past a saluting dias

As I understand it the flags should look like the following when marching in Column:

Commander
RCN Ensign Maple Leaf
UN Flag Union Jack
City Flag Tricolour
City Flag

I did review Manual of Drill and Ceremonial (A-DH-201-000/PT-000) and this is my understanding. Any help or advice appreciated.
