ARMY nurse Hannah Perry flew back into Australia yesterday after participating in the 40-strong Australian Defence Force contingent at the funeral procession for Queen Elizabeth through the streets of London. The former East Loddon P12 College student and Bears Lagoon Serpentine netballer and tennis player left her Army School of Health base at Latchford Barracks, near Wodonga, with ADF personnel in the hours following the passing of the Queen on September 8. The now-Captain Perry spent a week in rehearsals
with British and Commonwealth defence personnel for the funeral on Monday night (Australian time). The Parrys moved to Bendigo from their family farm at Bears Lagoon 11 years ago. Hannah studied nursing and spent part of her graduate year at Boort District Health before enlisting in the Army four years ago. Her mother Judi said that during rehearsals in London, Hannah had met the new Princess of Wales during a visit to the Australian contingent by Catherine and husband Prince William.
Members of Australia’s contingent were drawn from Royal Australian Engineers, the Royal Australian Infantry, the Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps and the Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps, Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Air Force. Judi said it was a proud moment for the family watching television coverage of the Queen’s funeral procession and seeing her daughter. Today is a public holiday for Australia’s National Day of Mourning for the Queen who died aged 96.
