Community Anzac Day services in Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges may have been cancelled as a result of COVID-19 but that hasn’t stopped many residents taking time over the past week to remember the men and women who served their country.
Many in the community embraced the RSL’s ‘light up the dawn’ initiative, standing at the end of their driveway at 6am on Saturday to mark Anzac Day.
In Woodend, the RSL sub-branch asked residents to lay wreaths at the cenotaph in Anslow Street or at the Wall of Remembrance in the Avenue of Honour.
Sunbury youngster, Charlotte spent last week learning about Anzac Day as part of the remote learning activities set by her school, Our Lady of Mount Carmel School.
Charlotte then went on to create a portrait of an Australian soldier, inspired by her great grandfather, Len Sault, who fought in World War I.
Dad Nelson said Charlotte also created a prayer which the family said together on Anzac Day.
