Actually, etiquette be danged. Folks in their 80's are delicate, even if they are in generally good health. I'm not sure how good it was for them to be out sitting around in such cold for so long.
I'm sure they have some heat in that platform (they have everything else :)
I agree. I believe Woodruff said they had heated pillows on their laps but it does nothing for frozen ears. I'm surprised they didn't heat the area they sat in and thought at least three sides were enclosed in glass. I do hope necessary precautions are taken when they all view the parade tomorrow.
