Tomorrow is ANZAC Day. Unfortunately, we are unable to attend the traditional ceremonies that take place on this day. There is still a way in which we can pay our respects and be involved in commemorating ANZAC Day from our bubbles.

Hi Room 22.
ReplyDeleteANZAC Day is a really important day. In my street there were 9 houses (including me) who got up to 'Stand at Dawn'. After we played the Last Post music there was a cannon sound that was let off.
Later in the day when I was out walking, I counted 22 houses with poppies in their windows. Did anyone else spot any?
I couldn't convince my husband to get up at 6 o'clock but our neighbour did and so we were woken up by the Last Post anyway! It was a lovely still morning, so the tunes and words were very clear. Later when we were walking we saw lots of Anzac tributes in windows and on letterboxes. The one I loved the best was the ode written in chalk along the pavement -
ReplyDelete'They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.'
I liked it so much, the next day I popped a note in the letter box thanking them for writing that for others to see.
