A NSW State Memorial Service for the late the Honourable Ian Morton Armstrong AM OBE will be held on Monday 22 February 2021, at The Pavilion, Cowra Showground, 5 Grenfell Road, Cowra, commencing at 11.00am.
The State Memorial will be an important opportunity to honour the former leader of the NSW Nationals and Deputy Premier of NSW. Mr Armstrong was an advocate for rural communities and responsible for relocating the Department of Agriculture to Orange in 1992 — the single largest decentralisation process undertaken by a Government department.
Mr Armstrong lived a life dedicated to serving and representing regional people. He held a number of volunteer positions during his lifetime, and also served as Minister for Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
Those unable to attend will be able to watch the Service online at nsw.gov.au/statememorial. The Service will be live-streamed from 11:00am and a full recording of the Service will also be made available on the website to watch later.
Condolences can be given through the online condolence book at nsw.gov.au/statememorial.
