Melbourne remembers Boer War

War heroes, war descendants, Scouts and Guides will gather in the heart of Melbourne to mark the end of the Boer War.

The annual service on Sunday will honour those who served and remember the anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Vereeniging, which ended the South African war in 1902.

The event starts at 12.15pm with a march from the bottom forecourt to the Eternal Flame at the Shrine of Remembrance.

Media identity Ita Buttrose will provide the commemoration address.
