As for Canada, every station that I can remember had Terry Fox - the only great Canadian that all Canadians agree on, to paraphrase Douglas Coupland.

ETA: and some RCMP on horseback. (The current Canadian flag was much too controversial.)
"It occurs very rarely in the life of a nation that the courageous spirit of one person unites all people in the celebration of his life and in the mourning of his death ... We do not think of him as one who was defeated by misfortune but as one who inspired us with the example of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity".
