Dawn service disappointing

Yet again, the Dawn Service at the Woy Woy Cenotaph was abysmal to say the least.

I think to the thousand or so people that turn out at 4:30am it is a disservice.

No one expects a show, or to be entertained, that's not why we come, but I do think that given the RSL have 12 months to prepare, they could at least show some effort.

If you're not standing in front of the loud speakers it is difficult to hear.

Speakers misread what they have written and do not speak clearly into the microphone.

The recording for the National Anthem was started halfway through the anthem.

There was no catafalque party and no piper.

No one to speak of their bravery and sacrifice.

It's a shame, on our most treasured national day.
