Sounds like a good compromise to me.

There is a misconception that this is a parade. It is actually a funeral march, honouring the fallen. Whilst the descendants have much to celebrate and be thankful for, it is not a party and young children should be educated about this – regardless of insurance.

A difficult choice – but if insurance does not cover under 12 there are limited options.

I think anyone can trip, adults just as much as children. Personally I think it’s good to involve children and whole families because it gives a bond and it’s important they know where this is about.

I think it is reasonable, the march is for a purpose

The reasons are understandable, but this decision will influence a lot of families for sure.

I think it is a sad decision however I can understand the reasoning behind it.

  I agree – sad – but made for a reason.

It’s a bit sad because I think it’s important that kids are involved and keep the traditions alive. But totally understand why the under 12s shouldn’t march

I can see why this may disappoint ppl, however imagine what it would do to the RSL’s finances if there was an accident and they couldn’t use the liability insurance. Therefore I think it’s a sensible decision.

I can understand why they have done it, but its still a bit sad. Some people take a lot of pride in marching with their grandchildren and teaching them why its so important to remember the sacrifices that people who have come before have made.
