Was happy with the shot above taken from the far side of Elizabeth Quay, long lens no tripod! The Remembrance Day Centenary Service held by the State War Memorial up in Kings Park.. the flag at half mast, as were all flags around the city yesterday. A Military Gun Salute fired on the half hour from 9am until
seconds before the 11th hour to symbolise when the guns fell silent. Below by the Bell Tower along with many others to observe a minutes silence at 11am followed by the first public ringing of the Anzac Bell, installed in time especially for Remembrance Day. Somehow managed to cut off the top of the Bell tower, but you've seen it before right :) Happy Monday, take care and stay safe..
Thank you ALWAYS for being an ally in the fight for right! <3
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful setting for this ceremony. It looks like the day was perfect.
ReplyDeleteA very poignant day. Love those photos of your Remembrance Service. I've just come home from our remembrance.... outside in the cold, it's about 2C out there. Lots of wreaths being laid by local dignitaries. My good friend was the bagpiper. Somehow I always have tears running down my cheeks when I attend this event.
ReplyDeleteBTW regarding your comment, I meant the photo in the newspaper not the one on my blog. I've adjusted the wording now, to make it clearer.
...here's praying the the guns fall silent for good one of these days.
ReplyDeleteIt is good that people stop what they are doing and remember.
ReplyDeleteA day to reflect and remember.
ReplyDeleteWe must remember the past and honor those who are gone. Many veterans that I have known would never repeat either WWI or WWII or any other war.
ReplyDeleteA moving moment, I am sure. Good work to capture the Kings Park ceremony. The Anzac Bell is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteRemembrance is crucial.
ReplyDeleteI think palm trees are so cool
ReplyDeleteYour photos add a certain poignancy to this event and I'm glad so many people came out to observe and reflect on its meaning. Beautiful post again, Grace!
ReplyDeleteWe were travelling on Sunday so missed the service in our town but I have seen a Facebook post of it. It seems like all of the towns and cities put in a particular effort this year.
ReplyDeleteA Big Day around the country.

I watched the remembrance of WW 1 in Paris with all the World leaders peaceful together from Putin to Trump on tv, it was a very impressive remembrance.
ReplyDeleteThe effects of WW1 were far reaching. Let us all remember. Great post, today, Grace.

Certainly, a day to remember. We did a tour of the war graves in France a couple of years back. Not easy to accept that so many were killed. We both have many family names around so many of the cemeteries.
ReplyDeleteThe local service/ceremony we have here is very poignant, every name of locals who never came back are read out annually, they are never forgotten.
Have a good week Diane
Wonderful views, Grace. I took in the national service and visited the war museum yesterday.
ReplyDeleteAwe, remembering is so important, and your opening photo has so much in it to take notice of. Beautiful capture too.
ReplyDeleteI really like your post good blog on site,Thanks for your sharing.
