Anzac Day
Paul MERCURIO (Hastings) (10:37): On Tuesday I was honoured to attend the first of four Anzac ceremonies for the week at Langwarrin Community Centre. It was a lovely event attended by several local schools, community members and veterans. On Wednesday I attended the Hastings police seniors registered client afternoon tea, which was a great chance to catch up with locals and gossip. On Thursday morning I attended the Somerville dawn service, then in the mid morning I attended the Balnarring service and after that the Crib Point service. I am happy to say they all seemed bigger and better than ever, with lots of kids, locals and veterans in attendance. It was great to see so many local schools attending and students getting involved in the ceremonies by reading out poems, singing the anthems and laying wreaths. I thank all those people that worked so hard to put these services on.
