Default Motorcade on Walnut St?

Did anyone catch the motorcade (?) heading down Walnut from at least 15th down past 22nd tonight around 7:20-7:30pm? There were motorcycles blocking off the cross streets, a police car, three police motorcycles, some people on horseback in some sort of ceremonial garb, a limo, a car, another limo, a small break, and then more people on horseback, some kind of army vehicle and a final police SUV. Any idea what this was for? It didn't seem like a funeral, but we saw it from pretty high up, so we couldn't tell for sure.

Sir Fluffles Duke of York was in town to meet with the owners of City Blue.

Isn't some PA National Guard thing? The unit based down on 23rd between Market and Chestnut?

There was a bunch of state troopers and a huge white limo in front of ruth chris. We asked them what was going on and they said it had something to do with the medal of honor.

That was Me returning from the "Dogologist's" summit.
