BOORT RSL sub-branch raised more than $3100 through the Poppy Appeal to support the ex-service community.
President Paul Haw said: “Poppy Day has always been very well supported by the Boort community.
“A special thanks go to Glenn Hudson and Jeanette Wagner for overseeing the Poppy Appeal this year that raised $3162.72 with a special thanks to all of the volunteers who made it possible by being on the roster for our Godfrey Street stall,” he said.
Friday’s Remembrance Day commemoration included music from Boort Babblers. The Last Post and Rouse were sounded by 97-year-old Alan Streader.
At Boort District Health, Ivan Streader raised the flag at dawn and veteran Richard Youren raised the flag at 11am. Director clinical services Mubarak Meera Sahib conducted a Remembrance Day service followed by Di Cross laying a handmade wreath of poppies.
