Funeral services are scheduled for 10:30 a.m. today for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, the soldier killed in last week’s alleged jihadist attack on Canada’s parliament and this photo of a note sent by the Queen of England is making the rounds:

Although some Tweeters have noticed the impersonal nature of the letter:
@jlancasterCBC @CBCAlerts There is no signature on the note?

@jlancasterCBC @CBCAlerts That should be hand written…
