Beaconsfield gathered last Sunday to remember the ANZACs with a special memorial service organised by the Beaconsfield Progress Association.

The service was held before the Beaconsfield Cenotaph on Sunday 21 April where locals joined with contingents of Scouts, Girl Guides, CFA representatives and many more.

The progress association hosted the event with speakers including Upper Beaconsfield RSL president Eric Chaplin OAM, Berwick RSL president Pam Phillips, mayor councillor Jack Kowarzik and La Trobe MP Jason Wood.

Honouring the veterans included a procession led by bagpipes as well as the laying of wreaths at the cenotaph.
