More than 20 local community members gathered at the War Memorial, together with representative students from the 159-student Berrima Public School to commemorate the 102nd Anniversary of Armistice Day, known as Remembrance Day. Lest We Forget.
The ceremony began with a welcome to those assembled, followed by an introduction and recount of World War I , the importance of Remembrance Day and the significance of the poppies. Students from Berrima Public School also recited their school pledge which was then followed by The Ode.
A minutes silence was held, after which the flags were raised and the Rouse was played.
The ceremony ended at the conclusion of the National Anthem.
