Of the 950 people that the Prince Albert Armoury can hold, at least 500 will be members of the Canadian Armed Forces as Private Shaun Farrell is laid to rest on Wednesday.
Farrell will be buried with full military honours following his death during a training accident at CFB Wainwright on October 17. Farrell died along with three other soldiers after wind gusts sent a smouldering grass fire towards soldiers in training. They were unable to get out of the way in time.

Many other soldiers are recovering from burns in multiple Alberta hospitals.
Local members of the North Saskatchewan Regiment who are helping with co-ordination of the ceremony have asked the city to close Exhibition Drive directly in front of the armoury from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Any traffic from attendees will need to detour around the Exhibition barns and park by the Exhibition centre, the Midway or Dave Steuart Arena.
Farrell was a member of the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry. Members of that regiment were in Wainwright training for an upcoming deployment.
