Background
This year, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of Dawn Services at Loyalty Square in Balmain, Ashfield Park and Petersham Town Hall. The community still wanted to pay their respects to all Australians who have served and died in war and on operational service.
Three local publicans were contacted and matched with a bugler who played the Last Post at 6am on ANZAC Day and the community was encouraged to go to the front of their property and light a candle in memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
