Last Post Ceremony

The Last Post Ceremony is a solemn salute held daily at war memorials, particularly the Australian War Memorial, to honor and remember military personnel who have died in service. It involves a respectful presentation of the fallen's names, a medal display, and a bugler playing the Last Post—a musical piece symbolizing final farewell. The ceremony serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and ensures that the stories of those who served are continually commemorated and appreciated by visitors and the community.
