Anzac Day at Pearl Beach
Over 150 people attended the Pearl Beach Anzac Day Ceremony in the Memorial Hall on Thursday, April 25, as part of the nationwide day of remembrance.
The ceremony went from 9am to 12pm and morning tea was provided.
Local Lynne Lillico, who helped organise the service, said she was very pleased with the ceremony.
"It was fantastic, the weather was good and the hall was over spilling," said Ms Lillico.
"There were about 150 people who came, both people from the community and visitors and lots of young people.
"It was really lovely seeing young people there, being instructed in what it's all about."
The Anzac Day ceremony included ode and scripture readings, wreath laying and The Last Post and Reveille played by 15-year-old, Alistair Campbell.
Ms Lillico said that there was plenty of positive feedback from the day, with many people pleased that the ceremony was still continuing in Pearl Beach.
The ceremony raised around $330 from donations, with all proceeds given to the Brisbane Water Branch of Legacy.
