THOUSANDS have returned to Ipswich’s Memorial Gardens for Dawn Service, marking the city’s first public service to take place since 2019. Sunday’s early-morning service proved a far cry from last year’s scenes as crowds from the gardens of Ipswich RSL Sub Branch once again spilled out onto a dimly lit Nicholas Street.
At 4.27am, a respectful hush fell over attendees as proceedings commenced, commemorating those fallen, retired and who continue to serve.
Royal Australian Air Force personnel Ryan Douglas was among the many faces to return to Ipswich CBD this year.

The event also marked another special occasion for his family, with his two young children proudly accompanying him for the first time ever.
