There will be no public gatherings to commemorate Anzac Day this year.

However The Courier, Wee Waa News and community radio station 2Max FM are encouraging Narrabri Shire residents to participate in a ‘silent salute’, in line with the NSW RSL and Veterans’ Affairs Department’s call for private observances.

The Courier and Wee Waa News, will be distributing Australian ‘hand waver’ flags with The Courier and Wee Waa News on Tuesday, April 21.

Residents are invited to stand at the end of their driveways or in front of their homes, holding their flags to observe a minute’s silence at 11am on Anzac Day, Saturday April 25, to acknowledge and remember the sacrifices of our servicemen and women.

At the same time, 2MAX FM will be broadcasting The Last Post and encouraging people to tune in to remember all those who have served in wars and conflicts.

Residents are encouraged to send in  footage and photos of their observance to [email protected]
