Anzac Day in lockdown

Cherie Sivignon Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Despite the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, many people in the Nelson-Tasman region remembered the fallen on Anzac Day. They did so in many ways such as standing at the end of their driveways, hanging a colourful tribute, laying a wreath or playing the Last Post. What did you do?

Tasman District Council Anzac Wreath

The scenes are all within walking distance of my house. It is so wonderful to see people finding new ways to celebrate and honour our war veterans. My father (now deceased) served in the Korean War and it was an honour lay a wreath today on behalf of all those who have served New Zealand and their families.

In keeping with Covid lockdown rules the wreath was placed by me with only my family bubble in attendance to mark the occasion, but I wanted to share this moment with you.

Stay safe. Stay home. Be Kind.

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?

Our black cat (Ninja) has been missing from Pitt Street since Tuesday (7th April).

(2) anyone who lives rurally at some distance from a pharmacy. (3) anyone with a compromised immune system. (4) the eldery. This means that you if you fall into any of these catagories you can ask your pharmacy for the full three months of meds, so that you only have to make one trip to the pharmacy instead of three trips. Stay safe everyone.
