Thousands of students are expected to take part in a parade at the Shrine of Remembrance to commemorate Greek National Day on Sunday 29 March, 2015.

Schools, parents and officials will gather in Melbourne to pay their respects to the heroes involved in the uprising against the Ottoman Empire on March 25 1821, marking the day that Greece was liberated from 400 years of Turkish occupation.

The parade will officially commence at 1.00 pm, with participants required to assemble by noon.
