Raising the Flag







Every morning at 8am in Mexico City's zocalo there is ceremony to mark the raising of the Mexican flag. Hundreds of soldiers march in formation and mark out a square around the flag pole. A military band plays while 12 soldiers carry the giant flag out to be raised. On our last morning in the city we decide to go & watch.
