THE LAST POST

I just thought that many of our merry band of brothers and sisters would like to hear this. Made me tear up a bit!

Having had ANZAC Day commemorations and memorials, this Lady felt inspired to pay her own tribute to our brave ANZAC's, including both of her Great Grandfather's.

Sadly, neither of them made it home. To those who served then and to those who serve now, thank you. 

Here is her rendition of The Last Post. Beautifully rendered.

I never heard The Last Post played on a solo Violin.

Magnificent!

When I was in the RAAF I played cornet in the local brass bands. Of course each ANZAC parade I was asked to play the last post (because I was in uniform) I have to tell you, if you get emotional hearing it, you should try the other end. I NEVER got to the end without emotion..

Lest we forget
