Lest We Forget ANZAC DAY TRIBUTE raises Almost $5,000 for RSL LifeCare Veteran Services.
The Lest We Forget Anzac Day Tribute Concert held in Sydney on Anzac Day in the Town Hall was a great success and raised almost $5,000 for RSL LifeCare Veteran Services.
This very special commemoration featured over one hundred of Australia’s best military, veteran and civilian artists all coming together to honour the Fallen.
RSL Ambassador Pete Rudland gave a touching Anzac Requiem.
Normie Rowe AM, a Vietnam Veteran, paid tribute to the families left on the home front hoping but not knowing.
Christine Anu sang a tribute in Torres Strait Island language.
Mark Vincent, Corporal Elizabeth Smith and Petty Officer Tracy Kennedy RAN as well as musicians from the Sydney Youth Orchestra, The Australian Remembrance Orchestra, and the Australian Military Wives Choir also paid tribute.
Songs were carefully chosen to honour those who have served.
Two of Australia's final surviving veterans from World War II, Ron Leckie (101) and Donald Kennedy OAM (96) were honoured.
The concert was broadcast live by Channel Seven. Watch the video.
