ANZAC Day in Vevey - 25th April

Just a little reminder for all those Aussies and Kiwis out there that ANZAC Day is coming up. For those who don't know, ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) day is a special day where we remember those who have served in the Armed Forces.
There is an official ceremony at the Commonwealth War Graves in Vevey at 11 am. Everybody else is welcome.
