ANZAC Day was honoured at numerous services around the Hawkesbury last week as residents paid homage to the bravery and sacrifice of Australian and New Zealand service personnel, past and present. 

At Richmond hundreds of people gathered at the break of dawn as the haunting notes of the Last Post echoed across the memorial grounds, a poignant reminder of the price of freedom. Wreathes were laid in honor of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their countries.

Among the attendees were veterans, their families, and members of the wider community, united in their shared respect for those who have served.
