Anzac Day 2020: Virtual Services

At dawn on Saturday, if it were normal times, we would gather in crowds - thousands strong - and stand silently in cool morning light to remember the fallen.

But Saturday will be different. We won't be standing shoulder to shoulder while wearing our forebears' military decorations, buying a poppy, or listening to the haunting Last Post as the ever-diminishing number of veterans march to the cenotaph.

For some, this will be their last Anzac Day.

Instead of normal, we will have virtual services and online events, all from our own living rooms, balconies and driveways.

No matter our current circumstances or any inconvenience of being stuck in a bubble, we should remember - now more than ever - that it is an incomparable

luxury compared to what our men and women suffered in wartime. Divided we fall. Lest We Forget.

Please refer to the ANZAC Day Television Coverage; residents will be given the opportunity to view this in their lounges.
