(A more formal ceremony in Melbourne today.)The Nursing Home commemorated Remembrance Day today with a simple ceremony in the grounds of the home.
A good sprinkling of the residents braved the heat to see ex-servicemen and women residents recite traditional prayers and oaths. They looked resplendent in their best suits and bearing their service medals.
A schoolboy from the neighbourhood, who looked about twelve, performed the Last Post impressively watched by his understandably proud father.
The residents, many of whom are survivors of World War 11 action, were pretty moved by the service and also got a lift from this involvement in community activity.
