RSL Queensland is determined that Anzac Day ceremonies will go ahead.
“While every organisation is required to observe Queensland Health guidelines on social distancing and contact tracing, we are planning two complementary commemorative approaches which will be Covid-safe,” State president Tony Ferris said.
First, sub branches would conduct ceremonies.
“Second, by popular community demand, we will once again enable Queenslanders to show their support through the continuation of the ‘Light Up The Dawn’ personal driveway commemorations at 6am on Anzac Day,” Mr Ferris said.
He said he – and all veterans – appreciated the public’s determination to preserve Anzac Day traditions, including the community’s concern for the health and well-being of the State’s veterans, many of whom are elderly and therefore at higher risk from the virus.
