The event was a great success. The atmosphere, public interest and support for veterans showed the public continues with strong support for the observance and the sacrifice of the so many who put themselves at risk and indeed lost their lives for the benefit of the community and associated nations.
As you might expect WW11 ranks were thin but there were many veterans and their mates from other conflicts especially that of the Vietnam war proudly displayed their renewed commitment to what was done even as a model for current generations.
The bands and other music especially of the Federation Guard was of a very high standard and received ovations. Well done all
