Hundreds of residents will come together in Anglesea next Friday to pay respects to the brave men and women that served their country.
Veterans, serving personnel, and descendants of those who served will proudly walk the streets of Anglesea to honor the fallen and acknowledge the ongoing contributions of current service members.
Close to 800 people gathered along McMillan Street to watch the march and service last year, with many community members expected to attend this year’s commemorative day.
Anglesea Returned and Services League secretary Angela Hunt said she expected about 80 community members to attend the dawn reflection and close to 600 people to participate in the march.
Ms Hunt said this years’ service also recognised the life of a WWII veteran who will be celebrating his 100th birthday in November.
“The veteran will be in attendance on the day, which is always nice to see… Everybody likes to know that there are still a few of them around,” she said.
“Our Anzac Day is a bit different than other services and we are very much community minded. The kids will sing along with Rob Brady. It’s a lovely morning.”
The significant community occasion will honour, courage and sacrifice of the service men and women, while providing time for reflection, remembrance, and unity.
