As HMAS Kanimbla was on its way home to Australia, several individual funeral services were held for those killed in the Sea King helicopter crash in Indonesia.

These were held in conjunction with the national service of thanksgiving in the Great Hall of Parliament House on April 15.

Messages of condolence and support continue to flood in for the six Navy and three Air Force personnel who died in the crash.

Kanimbla was given the green light to return home to Australia on April 13.

She made stops in Singapore and Townsville before arriving at Garden Island in Sydney on April 30.
