ANZAC Day

This morning I attended the Wreath Laying service in the Lower Hutt War Memorial Gardens (by the War Memorial Library). It was a fine morning, so plenty of people turned out.

There were some touching moments - all those seated spontaniously stood for the last post, and afterwards kids wanted their photos taken with the veterans, not the politicians. It was also good to see all the young people there, and that many groups laid wreaths.

And I now also know the difference between Memorial Place and the Memorial Gardens!
