In Montreal Canada everyone speak French and dislike the Brits, but they still have the Redcoat ceremonial guards as part of Commonwealth of Nations. Interestingly they use C7 as ceremonial gun.

The awkward moment when I'm taller than a redcoat, excluding the bearskin hat.

You'd think they would pay the extra cash for sights...

Shooting w/o sights is very possible.. just takes a few rounds to get it set..

Look up C7 rifle in google image, I didn't see a photo of C7 with a real iron sight, only some kind of scope, not sure how the Canadians shoot when the scope is out.

Do they behave like the guards in London? Stare straight ahead, absolute picture of discipline?

They should be using the C1A1 for their parade rifle..

Yes, many people confused them as fake figures.

Every nation should use a FAL variant for parade rifles.

Then every nation's parade soldiers will complain about shoulder pains.

I would have thought they'd use something more showy or ceremonial looking, like gussied-up Enfield #4's or similar.

Yeah...since that's about all they're good for.
