Today members of our school, and other community groups, marched
to commemorate the lives lost in war.
ANZAC means Australian and New Zealand Army Corps,
and the day is observed in
both New Zealand and Australia.
This morning we gathered at the RSA (Returned Services Association) building and marched behind the pipe bands
to the cenotaph.
Words of remembrance were spoken,
the Roll of Honour for our district was read out,
and the wreaths were laid.
The brass band played 'God Save the Queen' and a lone trumpeter played 'The Last Post'.
Anzac Day is an important national day to many
New Zealanders.
What are the days that are important to you and your community?
Listening to last post put a shiver up my spine.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see that New zealanders, especially younger people taking pride and acknowledging our past.

Hello B4,
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you all participated in the Anzac parade.
I'm aways forgetting what Anzac stands for and your the first blog to mention what it means.
