but you can't sing the Last Post. Most people do sing along with the tape, which is fine for Advance Australia Fair, but a bit harder for God Defend New Zealand as Aussies far outnumber us lads from the Shakie Isles. It's actually virtually pitch dark when it starts, and by the time " they will not grow old as we that are left etc" has been recited and some thoughts and poems from children from the International school have been read it's broad daylight. Quite different from services in Aust and NZ as the children, although Aussies and Kiwis, speak with the International School accent which is more American.
