We watched for hours whilst the big procession of service men and women and families went past us. It was most exciting seeing my friend Andy go past and as we were standing in front of the Shrine of Rememberance whenever anyone went past us they screamed out "hhhhhhaaattttss offfff" "eyyyyeeeeessss leeeeeeefffftt" so I kept telling Billy they were all turning to look at him :) Andy screamed out for his squadron to look left and I waved crazy and yelled at him. ooopss might have distracted him!!
Anyhow it was a great day and emotional parade. Nothing got the crowd screaming more than the old bloke who got out of his wheelchair to walk proudly past the Shrine and dip his head respectfully......I was in tears at this stage.
Billy slept through
but was rudely awoken by the bagpipes that came through shortly afterwards.

Loved this brief account of your Anzac Day. I bet it was cold up there too. Glad Billy knows how to grab a nap when he needs it.
See you soon
Love to all
