Details:

1200: Arrived and met up with the troopers from Brisbane. 
1220: Began suiting up. We coordinated with the Burstows staff who were very helpful. 
1300: Kitted up and ready to go. We headed over to the service area and took pictures with some of the Burstows staff. 
1400: We waited an hour outside the doors for the service to finish. It was quite warm, but we were in the shade which was great. We watched the service on a TV screen mounted on the ceiling. 
1415: Opened doors and the casket was brought out. We escorted it to the motorbike. We then escorted it to the road and saluted the procession as they left the venue.
1430: Procession did a drive past and we waved to them as they did burn-outs in their cars and bikes. 
1445: Finished up with a few pictures then de-kitted. 


Injuries / Malfunctions: A piece of hot rubber from one of the vehicles flew into Donut's armour, it was quite hot but he was okay.

Big thanks to the troopers who came up from Brisbane to make this troop happen. It wasn't an easy troop, but we certainly did our best.

A heavy duty. Respect to everyone who stood in for this one.

Hi Luke

Please see attached donation receipt made to Starlight Foundation on Redback Garrison behalf

From Tyne and Wayne ( Kodys parents) . Star Wars team were absolutely awesome, and the kids loved it. They helped us with a perfect send off for Kody and we can't thank them enough for being such a big part of this day. Much appreciated from the bottom of our hearts. Our son would have been absolutely beside himself to be honored in this way. Thank you xoxo

Thanks again
