Anzac Day

25 April 2019

As I lined up to march in the Anzac Day parade I felt important,proud and I had the butterflies in my stomach. I heard the drums going then the bagpipes. I said to myself “What's happening!?” then everyone started marching. I saw the soldiers marching in the line perfectly with their uniforms nice and tidy, they looked proud as they marched one by one. As i turned back I saw the students marching and smiling with happiness, everyone was clapping.              

It was now time to remember who fought for us in the war. It was now time to celebrate the Anzacs as we all came together for a significant ceremony. After we all sat down people were laying wreaths in memory of the soldiers that went to war to fight for us. We then sang the national anthem with the melody of the orchestra and Sarah Henderson did a magnificent speech from the prime minister, Scott Morrison. The crowd went silent as the bugle played and reflected on the Anzacs….

At the end there was a big thank you and the crowd clapped.
