A strong presence of officers from HMAS Albatross put a significant focus on the Australian services and their importance in protecting our country and our freedom.
Community groups included ZONTA women's organisation and The Berry Pony Club, as members marched Queen Street alongside Puzzles the Pony.
As the march headed down Queen Street and rounded the corner to Alexandra Street, Berry, onlookers followed toward the service, where stories about the sacrifices made by local war veterans were told and Berry Public School students performed the song 'Lest We Forget'.
The service which went for an hour was run by Councillor John Wells as MC, with an opening address presented by Berry RSL Sub-Branch president Clyde Poulton.
