Simpson community gathers for service
THE Simpson community joined together last Wednesday to pay their respects in an Anzac Day ceremony.
Simpson and District Community House co-ordinator Debra Smith said she was pleased with the turnout.
“(I was) pleased with the turnout given the weather, we were lucky it didn’t rain,” she said.
“I was really proud of the Simpson Primary School children and their understanding and respect for the occasion.
“It is really important that they have some sort of understanding that there was a cost for the freedom we all have today.
“Bree (Jones) was the perfect choice for emcee with her strong community leadership and ability to relate to the children.”
The service also included a number of readings from Simpson Primary School students.
Students and community members were also invited to lay wreaths at the base of the flagpole.
Those in attendance also enjoyed homemade Anzac biscuits at the conclusion of the service.
Lest we forget.
