'Sharing the spotlight': Major veterans groups invited to march with RSL board in a change to the usual Anzac Day event proceedings | ebooktim
This year will see changes to the order and composition of the Anzac Day march. NSW governor David Hurley led the march last year followed by a group of female veterans.
"It's about sharing the spotlight and being a bit more open to working with other groups. There have been some views in the past that it is all a bit of a competition in terms of who does what in the veterans' space. We all need to be working together a little bit more efficiently and effectively."From the Dawn Service in Martin Place until the Sunset Service there at 5pm, Sydney will enact the words from the famous poemby Laurence Binyon.
The 12.30pm commemoration service at the Anzac Memorial will be the first since refurbishment last year when it was officially opened by the Duke of Sussex in October. A range of strategies will be in place to provide a safe and secure environment across the state, acting Assistant Commissioner Tony Cooke said.
