TAS:Kids march alongside veterans in Hobart

Tasmanian schoolchildren have marched alongside veterans in the Anzac Day march through
central Hobart.

Greeted by a spectacular Autumn morning .. thousands lined Macquarie Street in the
Tasmanian capital for the march .. which travelled from the city to the nearby Cenotaph
at the Domain.

Now a tradition .. local schools were assigned regiments .. decorating banners and
marching alongside veterans.

At the end of the parade .. Tasmanian Governor PETER UNDERWOOD and Premier LARA GIDDINGS
laid wreaths at the Cenotaph .. as did Opposition Leader WILL HODGMAN and Greens leader
NICK McKIM.
