The anthem sung during the Act of Remembrance was “I Believe“, arranged by Stuart Overington. The words were found etched into the walls of a hut in a concentration camp, post liberation:
I believe in the sun, even though it’s not shining.
I believe in love, when there’s no one there.
I believe in God, even though he is silent.
I believe.
Maybe someday there will be sunshine.
Maybe someday there will be love.
Maybe some day there will be happiness.
I believe.
We finished with the National Anthem:
