A photograph of a moving Anzac Day display at one Coles supermarket has sparked a huge reaction on social media. The display — situated at the entrance of the Annandale Coles store in Townsville, Queensland — features a large statue of a veteran surrounded by poppies and a “Lest We Forget” flag. It was created by a Coles team member who works at the store as a tribute to her father, a war veteran.
One say: “Bloody well done Coles - too much Aussie stuff being constantly eroded.” Another wrote: “Great respect for our Diggers Thank you Coles Annandale Townsville.” One more added: “That is great. As a veteran it makes me proud.” Others said that they’d seen similar displays at other supermarkets around the country. “My local Woolies has Anzac biscuits and all the Anzac badges on a big display just as you walk in the door,” said one.
