CROWNING GLORY: These stained-glass windows were unveiled at Westmere Presbyterian Memorial Church on Sunday and carry a strong Anzac theme.
On the eve of Anzac Day, three stained-glass windows were unveiled and dedicated at Westmere Presbyterian Memorial Church, near Whanganui.
The unveiling on Sunday held special significance because it represented a major milestone in the refurbishment of one of the few memorial churches in the country.
The church - on
State Highway 3, north of the city - was consecrated in 1924.
It was built as a memorial to locals who paid the ultimate sacrifice during the 1914-18 war and World War II.
It was donations from those families with direct connections to those who served in the war that covered the cost of the windows which were created by local glass artist Greg Hall.
