Sub Brance padre Phillip Christian gave a prayer of thanksgiving while Brigadier David Gilroy gave the Anzac reqium.

Brad Clarke OAM read the dedication and Kel Arnott gave the Ode while Will Crowthers performed The Last Post.

Wreaths were laid in honour of the Diggers who gave their lives. Sarah Henderson and Lisa Neville were among those who laid wreaths.
