Pause, Reflect, Remember. For this special FOVA edition, the ceremony will focus on remembering and recognising Veteran Artists: those who have used creativity, performance and artistic expression as part of their journey during and after military life. The ceremony features the haunting call of the bugle, the lowering of the flags, wreath-laying and a commemorative reflection led by Shrine staff. Each element is steeped in symbolism: the bugle marking day’s end, the flags lowered in honour and the stories shared as a reminder of the enduring human experience behind service. Whether you’re attending FOVA, a local Melburnian or visiting the city, this Last Post Ceremony offers a deeply meaningful way to acknowledge Veteran creativity, reflect on the past, and connect with a tradition that has long stood as a moment of collective remembrance. This event is open to the Veteran Community and the general public.
