Despite the threat of rain, there was a good turn out for the dawn service at 5.30am at Gloucester Memorial Park Cenotaph Clock Tower.

There was a light sprinkle just before the service but attendees said it mostly held off, with the rain kicking in after it finished.

The drizzled continued on and off throughout the morning as the time of the march approached.

But the dampness didnt dampen the spirits of Gloucester residents who came out in droves to pay their respects.

Gloucester police, in a patrol car, started the march at 10.30am down Denison Street, across Church Street and up Hume Street to the war memorial park.

This years flag bearers where three members of the Gloucester Scouts, Abbigale Sterling, Drew Gorton and Adam Glew, followed by men and women who have served or continue to serve Australia.

Students and teachers from the local schools as well as members of local service clubs also joined the march.

Around 200 people gathered for the ceremony at the clock tower, where Gloucesters RSL sub-branch president Alan Vale welcomed everyone.

The service included the sound of bagpipes, prayers of remembrance, acknowledgement of those who served and continue to serve and GHS singers performing In Flanders Fields.

GHS captains Mia Bowden and Liam Chester spoke about what Anzac Day means to them and guest speaker Warrant Officer Geoffrey Loftus spoke of the tragedy of war.

Later, during the RSL lunch held at the Gloucester Soldiers Club, WO Loftus updated Gloucesters servicemen and women about the advancement in military weaponry and technology.

All those in attendance continued to remember those who have served and raised a glass in honour of the Anzacs, past, present and future.
