“The amount of respect we have for this day is immense.”

“We respect the diggers, who fought back in the first World War, but also all our soldiers, men and women, who have gone to war over the years, in every war that they fought for Australia.”

“We honour them today and especially on Saturday.”

Glanville resident Dennis Shannahan read the Ode of Remembrance, before ceremony conductor Jefferson Smith delivered a rendition of the Australian National Anthem and played The Last Post.
