Anzac Day Dawn Services are held each year at both Ringwood and Croydon and begin at 6am.

This morning I attended the Dawn Service held at the Ringwood Clocktower and organised by the Ringwood RSL. Each year the number of attendees increases and this year’s service was no exception. Clocktower Park was full of community members attending the service and paying their respects to fallen soldiers.

It is always encouraging to see strong representation from local schools, scouting and guides groups and it appears that the number of young children increases each year.

The Ringwood RSL must be commended for holding such a successful service and catering for the large number of attendees.
