George Town host moving Anzac Day ceremony with young people singled out for praise.

Mr Bull said he felt younger generations still had a great appreciation for the history of the country's servicemen and women.

"To see how the young ones are taking more interest in the day ... now at my age, I like to see the young people taking part and I like it," he said.

"I pride myself on that they are great people and we sometimes say 'look at him, look at her', but basically the young people of today could stand up against anyone of the past."
