Don Getty funeral

Pallbearers carry the coffin of former Alberta Premier Don Getty into All Saints’ Anglican Cathedral in downtown Edmonton on Mar. 5.  Approximately 600 people congregated for the state funeral that morning to honour Getty, who died of heart failure on Feb. 26 at the age of 82. He served as Alberta’s 11th premier from 1985 to 1992. One of his legacies was to establish the provincial Family Day holiday every February. © Grant Cree photo.
