Anzac Day 2012

I was very proud that today all the kids were marching in Anzac day parades.  Marcus, Chris and Dan marched in the city.  Jemma Marched at Oxley.  Megan was with Jemma and these photos are of Jemma taken by Megan.


There is some video below of the boys marching in the city

 Everyone lined up at the shops.











Look left look right.

Bands with bag pipes tend to march over anything in their way,  In this case the traffic seemed to cause them to pause

 The only thing that can stop the traffic on a main road is Anzac day march.  Basically the cops turn up and stop the traffic and the cars just wait until the march is over.  No permits.  No paperwork.  No council fees.
 

 Jemma and the guides marched




























And a surprise entrant was Oxley state school










Men with wooden guns stood guard

 A nice girl makes a speech

The guides watched (undercover)









Old heros remembered their mates and the reast of us give thanks for the sacrifice they made.










Marcus marched in the Brisband Grammar band.  The band went round twice.


And Chris & Dan marched with the Boys Brigade.  At the start you will see Dan carrying the number "2" for one of the groups marching and Chris carrying a banner for HMAS Melbourne.  Then after they have done that duty, they marched as a group with the Boys Brigade.  When the march was over, we went to Subway where blow me over if a Boys Brigae leader was operating the till.  (You wondered why we filmed in Subway didn't you).
