Rideau Hall neighbours say farewell to Jean

With just a few more hours left in the Governor General's time at Rideau Hall, children and neighbours are gathering in the rain to say goodbye.

Daniel Stanton, 11, gave Michaelle Jean flowers at her inauguration five years ago. He is making a return engagement, more flowers in hand.

This afternoon, Jean will plant a tree at Rideau Hall, as all Governor Generals do. Of course, the tree is already planted. She will add a shovel full of dirt and thank her neighbours.

Jean won't be far from the tree; she and her family are moving just down the block.
