🌺 Remembrance Day 2025 at the Veterans’ and Families’ Wellbeing Hub 🌺

This year’s Remembrance Day service at the Lives Lived Well Veterans’ and Families’ Wellbeing Hub was truly special. On Tuesday, 11 November, our community came together to honour those who have served and sacrificed.

The service began with an introduction and acknowledgment of Traditional Owners by our Service Manager Sarah, followed by a heartfelt tribute from WO2 Dale and Veteran Bill Bates reading “In Flanders Fields.” Guests were invited to lay rosemary near the wreath a symbol of memory and a reminder that we will always remember their sacrifices.

Ashleigh led us in the Ode of Remembrance, and Veteran Randall’s music, especially The Last Post, gave us chills. At 11 am, we paused for a minute’s silence a powerful moment of reflection.

After the service, everyone enjoyed coffee, cake, and conversation. It was wonderful to connect, share memories, and support one another.

Thank you to all who attended and helped make Remembrance Day 2025 a truly memorable occasion. 🌹
