Veterans from World War Two and later march in ANZAC marches, as well as those currently in the services (no veterans remain from World War I, but current members of the armed forces carry their flags). Bands are also a feature, with local community bands, police and armed services bands as well as various pipe and drum bands marching. Community service organizations, such as scouts and volunteer fire fighters may also play a part carrying flags and banners. Various military historical groups take part, such as those who preserve the memory of the Australian Light Horse Brigade or who collect old military vehicles. The Returned and Services League (RSL) have a major part in planning organising the event. The Governor of the state usually takes the salute.
