A matter of respect

IT was one of the biggest attendances Upwey-Belgrave RSL president David Eaton has seen at Belgrave on Remembrance Day.
Anzac Day had always been popular, he said, but with the centenary coming up, more and more people were keen to get involved.
More than 50 people paid their respects this morning at the 11th hour of the 11th day at the 11th month.
While there were some minor technical issues relating to the anthem, everyone was in good spirits as they listened to the history of Remembrance Day and its historical links to the armistice, when weapons were put down to end World War I.
