“There were lots of tears, especially from those who had served and those remembering someone they had lost. It means a lot to them and I think it’s really important for our country.”

Veterans and observers all joined in on various fundraising activities including a raffle and a special performances from Dec and Victoria Clusky.

Alison added: “The generosity, atmosphere and community spirit today have been truly overwhelming. Days like today remind us just how lucky we are to have such amazing people supporting the Garden Bar! We’re so proud of what we’ve all achieved together for such a worthy cause.”
