More than 100 veterans, students, community members and dignitaries gathered at the Moama Cenotaph for the Moama RSL Sub-branch’s Remembrance Day service.

Sub-branch president Leigh Bennett led proceedings, with students from Moama Anglican Grammar joining the veterans on stage for the reading of In Flanders Fields and renditions of The Last Post and The Rouse.

Col Perkins led the attendees in prayer and guest speaker Peter Walton shared some words about the ongoing importance of the day and what it meant to him as a Vietnam veteran.

The Riv was there.
