A series of Anzac Day commemorative services will be held at Craigieburn, allowing residents to pay their respects to the Australian men and women who have served or are currently serving their country.
A dawn service at 5:45am and a morning service at 9:45am will be held on March 25 in the North-East Quadrant of Anzac Park near the corner of Windrock Avenue and Marathon Boulevard. 98-year-old World War II veteran Robert Stoke will be in attendance during the later morning service.
The ceremonies will be conducted by RSL Sub-Branch members and will be hosted by the Craigieburn War Memorial and Remembrance Committee, who hold official Friends of the RSL status.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a small floral tribute, like a twig of wattle, in memory of a loved one to place on the memorial during the service.
Recipients of medals and awards, or those who have family members who are recipients, are also encouraged to wear the full size versions on the day. Family members should wear the medals on their right hand side.
