A question that has been asked a few times this week, as we prepare to attend ANZAC services and marches tomorrow :

Why are the bagpipes played in ANZAC Day services and marches?

On Anzac Day, the haunting sound of Scottish bagpipes is a familiar and moving part of dawn services and marches across Australia.
The tradition comes from Scottish military heritage, where lone pipers have long played laments to farewell the fallen. Their stirring music once rallied troops in battle and later became part of Commonwealth remembrance ceremonies.
Australian units with Scottish roots embraced the custom, and by the 1920s the lone piper had become a regular feature at memorials. The most common tune is the solemn lament “Flowers of the Forest”. It symbolises courage, sacrifice, and remembrance — a powerful part of the Anzac spirit.

Have you heard the lone piper at a service ? or heard a band play in aa ANZAC day march ? What does it mean to you ?

Lest We Forget. 🇦🇺

ANZAC Day - we are closed tomorrow - Saturday 25/4/26 as we pay respect to all service men and women for all that they have done and continue to do for this amazing country we live in.
