Thousands are expected to gather for the final year of the ANZAC Centenary and pay their respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
The City of Greater Geraldton together with the Geraldton RSL Sub-Branch will hold the ANZAC Day Centenary Services at Birdwood House, Forrest Street on Wednesday 25 April.
ANZAC Day commemorations will start with the traditional Dawn Service at 6.00am, followed by the Main Service at 11.00am.
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn advocates for members of the community to attend the commemorations and pay their respects.
“ANZAC Day is a time of national significance, when we pay our respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom,” he said.
“It’s important that we come together as a community to remember those men and women who served, and lost their lives in the war.”
A wreath laying ceremony will be part of the ANZAC Day proceedings, as well as a march from Chapman Road.
Road closures along Chapman Road, Maitland Street and Cathedral Avenue will be in place during both the Dawn Service and Main Service. Motorists and pedestrians are advised to obey all warning signs.
An ANZAC Day Service and morning tea will also be held in Mullewa at the War Memorial at 10.00am.
