The Toowoomba Region’s Town Crier Kevin Howarth tomorrow (Friday, May 8) will join a global chorus commemorating one of the most momentous days of World War II when he delivers a heartfelt tribute at Toowoomba’s Mother’s Memorial at 3pm.
Mr Howarth will join a worldwide program to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day (Victory in Europe), marking the end of World War II hostilities in Europe.
Mr Howarth said he had been practising a cry that had been written specially for the occasion.
“The Cry for Peace Around the World activity is one of two international commemorative events that is still taking place to mark the date, given the restrictions that have been enforced around public gatherings,” Mr Howarth said.
“I am honoured to join my fellow Town Criers across Australia and the world to proclaim the 75th anniversary of this memorable date.
