Condolences continue to come in across the country for a fallen soldier in Ottawa, including flowers placed at Winnipeg's Cenotaph on Memorial Boulevard.

A note read, "To all Canadian Armed Forces members and their families, and to all first responders, love, all Canadians."

The body of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, the honour guard gunned down at the National War Memorial in Ottawa this week, will be returned to his hometown of Hamilton via the Highway of Heroes on Friday.

Spontaneous outpourings of public support often broke out on the highway's overpasses as the motorcades went past.

Books of condolence to Cirillo have been set up in Hamilton and Ottawa.
