Gone but not forgotten

 

Anzac 4-730With silence and prayer, laying of wreaths and salutes of respect, Mangawhai commemorated April 25, Anzac Day.

A crowd of hundreds gathered at Hakaru’s RSA to pay respects to the regions servicemen and women of past and present, proving that the sacred day is still widely revered.

Representatives of community services including police, the fire brigade and St John, along with local school children, scout groups and the Mangawhai Cadets, all had a role to play in the auspicious, poignant ceremony.
