Forever Classic 2CA - Holmsey and Jen and Senior Australian of the Year Val Dempsey

10 additional Australians will accompany Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to the Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. One is ACT local, 50 plus years St John's Ambulance volunteer and 2022 Senior Australian of the year Val Dempsey. Val was also one of the last groups of Australians to have a chat with the Queen when she sat down with Governor General David Hurley and the other 2022 recipients of the Australian of the Year Awards. Holmsey and Jen caught up with Aunty Val and were reminded what a bundle of joy and model of service to the community this remarkable woman is. Photo: Holly Treadaway
