Anzac Day continues to draw strong crowds in Dubbo and surrounding communities.

It is refreshing to see people of all ages at the range of commemorative services held across the region, paying their respects to and remembering those who served their country and didn't return; those who served and returned; and those who served without leaving their country.

From a grateful nation, Lest We Forget.
