Anzac Day Services on the peninsula are seeing more and more people attending every year, and although all our original Anzacs are now gone, their legacy lives on.

Redcliffe will again play host to commemorative services on Thursday, 25 April to recognise those serving members, past and present and remember those who gave their lives serving our country.

Redcliffe RSL Vice President, Cheryl Barrett, said the theme for this year was Afghanistan Victoria Cross recipients and those killed in action during Operation Slipper.

I encourage [everyone] to attend the DAWN SERVICE fall-in at 5am at Baker Street, stepping off at 5.15am. The Dawn Service commences at the Anzac Place Memorial at 5.30am, she said.

There will be a Gun Fire breakfast at the completion of this service in the Redcliffe RSL. Local favourite, Rupert McCall will be reciting one of his poems at the Dawn Service.

THE MID-MORNING MARCH AND SERVICE will start with the annual Anzac Day parade, which will assemble at the corner of Anzac Avenue and Redcliffe Parade. The march starts around 9.40am with the service commencing at the Anzac Place Memorial at around 10.30am. Major Taylor Luxford-Sanderson will be the reviewing officer and guest speaker for this service.
