Note to Editors:
For the Cenotaph ceremony, there will be limited accomodation for newspaper reporters and photographers at the western end of the first floor balcony of the Supreme Court.
There will be no special Press position within the Statue Square perimeter.
For their part, Press representatives
are requested
to observe the solemnity of the occasion, and not talk unnecessarily during the service, particularly during
the two minutes' silence.
Newspapers wishing to station representatives on the Supreme Court balcony, should supply their names to the Duty Officers, Government Information Services, by noon on Friday (November 10).
In view of the limited space available on the Supreme Court balcony, it may be necessary to restrict accommodation to photographers only. Special lapel badges will be issued on Friday afternoon. G.I.S. officers will be on hand to assist Press representatives.

east or west side of the rope cordon. They will not
be able to stand on the south side of the Memorial Arch.
