RSL Victoria Annual State Remembrance Service

As there was no service in 2020, the choir was pleased to return to Springvale Botanical Cemetery on Sunday 7 November. 

As this year celebrates 100 years of the Royal Australian Air Force, at exactly 12.56 pm, there was a flyover from one of the 100 Squadron Heritage planes. Later in the service, retired Wing Commander Daryll Topp gave the main address.

State President Dr Robert Webster OAM led proceedings, aided by Chaplain John Raike.

Stonnington Brass Band, under Kevin Hillier’s baton, provided the musical accompaniment and combined with VicWelsh as they led the singing on O God Our Help In Ages Past, Abide With Me and the National Anthem.
