ANZAC Day 2024 – Richard Thornton

As each year passes, I find myself busier and busier around ANZAC Day, playing the Last Post and Rouse at functions around Melbourne. My largest audience is usually at the ANZAC Day Brunch held by the Essendonians, and while it boasted an incredible 1,200 attendees this year, another engagement was far bigger than I anticipated.

This year I had the absolute privilege to perform at AAMI Park for Melbourne Victory’s ANZAC commemoration. With around 5,000 people in attendance and the match broadcast live, this was one of the biggest bugling commitments I have undertaken.

Enjoy this footage from the ceremony!
