Monday saw a number of wonderful local events take place right across the Shepparton district to commemorate Remembrance Day.
Remembrance Day, observed on November 11 each year right around Australia, provides not only an opportunity to mark the end of the World War I, but to honour those who have served and continue to serve for our country.
There is no doubt that we would not be the country we are today without the sacrifices made by those that serve our nation within the Australian Defence Force.
It was great to see such a strong turnout from the local community as we took the opportunity to pay our respects and reflect in a minute’s silence.
Lest we forget.
