The event took place at the South Eastern Masonic Centre, Keysborough.

The Long Tan Remembrance Service was originally initiated by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Lodge.

Grand Master of Freemasons Victoria, Don Reynolds, said the forecourt of the South Eastern Masonic Centre was transformed into a field of bright red hand knitted poppies, which are part of the internationally recognised 5000 Poppies Project created by Melbourne artists Lynn Berry and Margaret Knight.

Grand Master Freemasons Victoria Don Reynolds, along with Dylan and Donovan, prepare for the
 traditional wreath laying this morning at the Long Tan Remembrance Service.

Following the traditional wreath laying, a unique Ceremony was carried out by the members of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Lodge inside the Lodge room.
