Campbelltown will come together online to commemorate Anzac Day during an online service this Saturday at 6am.
Council has organised the pre-recorded event in conjunction with the Campbelltown RSL Sub-Branch and will stream the service on Facebook and Instagram.
The service will include messages from local RSL members and community representatives as well as regular features of the Campbelltown Anzac Day Service such as the Ode of Remembrance, the Last Post and Reveille bugle calls, a minute silence and the playing of the Australian and New Zealand national anthems.
The service will begin with a performance of ‘Raise Your Glass’ by Paul Grierson from Simply Bushed and St Patrick’s College for Girls Campbelltown student Mackenzie McEvoy-King will deliver the commemoration address.
“We have worked closely with the Campbelltown Returned Services League Sub-Branch to provide all the elements of a traditional service in an unconventional way so that we can unite and honour our service men and women on this momentous day,” Mayor George Brticevic said.
“Anzac Day is close to the hearts of many in our community who have served or had relatives serve our country,” Cr Brticevic said.
“The story of the Anzac spirit is one of resilience in the face of adversity which is a particularly relevant message in these times,” he said.
