Adelaide Casino Anzac Day
I went to my first ANZAC Day dawn service yesterday. It was beautiful; I loved hearing the odes read out and watching the old veterans make their tributes.
ANZAC DAY in City of Adelaide Lord Mayor of Adelaide Sandy Verschoor is encouraging everyone to pay their respects from home this year. Due to the social distancing restrictions in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19, Anzac Day commemorations will look different in the city this year.

There was quite a large crowd there, but everyone was so quiet and respectful, even the kids. It was great to see the reverence that the Australian people (I guess I’m one of those now!) hold for those who fought and died to protect their freedom and way of life.
It was poignant to see people leave these rosemary tributes on the war memorial.
This side of it reads ‘They shall grow not old”.
The opposite side reads “We will remember them”.
After the service, Max and I went out for breakfast with a friend before spending the day relaxing, watching football, studying, gardening, and doing all those things that a good day off from work holds. I’m glad that we started the day with a service to commemorate those who have served, and those who serve now, far away from home.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
