Simon Jones’s community lead memorial was held on Saturday, March 30, outside Kmart on Vaughan St in Shepparton.

Simon was often found here with his stool and guitar, singing to passersby.

Buskers from Shepparton and surrounding areas were invited to perform on the day.

The News photographer Rechelle Zammit went along to capture the community spirit.

Here’s a glimpse into the memorial service through the lens.
