Proserpine paused at the cenotaph outside the Proserpine Entertainment Centre on Wednesday 11th November to honour those who served and remember those who lost their lives in service.
Former Proserpine RSL President Jason Raiteri organised the Remembrance Day ceremony on behalf of the RSL, bringing together veterans from different conflicts and residents from across the town in a moment of reflection and appreciation.
The service was filled with heartfelt and sombre moments, from the laying of the wreaths to the blessing of the ceremony by Father Melrose.
Students from Proserpine State High School and St Cath’s made their presence felt at the service, with both schools laying wreaths and cadets from No. 110 Squadron standing as the honour guard.
Proserpine State High School’s student captains also stood at the podium, and Year 11 student Daphne Wood gave a stirring rendition of the national anthem.
When the service concluded, those gathered at the cenotaph were invited back to the Proserpine RSL Club on Chapman Street to share memories and catch up over refreshments.
