My grandfather fought in Gallipoli , my father in Alamein in World War II, and my husband's great uncle was one of the Rats of Tobruk . It's important to us that their selflessness and the sacrifices of others, many who lost their lives, is not forgotten. Every year, my husband attends an Anzac Day Dawn Service. He hopes that one day our children will choose to join him.

Until that day, the Anzac Eve Concert is a free, all ages, classical concert commemorating those who have served and sacrificed. Presented by the RSL (Queensland Branch) and Queensland Symphony Orchestra, the third annual Anzac Eve Concert will take place at Suncorp Piazza, South Bank Parklands on April 24, 2012; from 6:30 to 8:30pm.
