The Sunshine RSL Sub Branch has announced the 2024 Anzac Day events in Sunshine to honour the sacrifices made by veterans.
In an annual tradition, the Sunshine RSL Sub-Branch has extended a warm invitation to veterans and the broader community to join in the Anzac Day march and service, scheduled for Sunday, April 21.
The gathering point for the march is Lynch Gardens, located on Hampshire Road in Sunshine, with assembly at 2pm. The march will commence at 2:30 pm, proceeding down Hampshire Road and into Dickson Street, concluding at the Sunshine RSL Sub-Branch. Following the march, a brief service will be conducted, accompanied by afternoon tea.
Sunshine RSL Sub Branch president Garry Collins said the march has long been the ’centrepiece’ of Anzac Day.
“It honours lost friends and publicly expresses comradeship. Please join us on the day,” he said.
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.
Following the service, a gunfire breakfast will be provided, with a gold coin donation to be provided by those participating in the breakfast.
“These events provide an opportunity for the local community to come together and pay tribute to the fallen heroes who bravely served our nation,” Mr Collins said.
