Children of Professor Richard Scolyer—Emily, Matthew and Lucy—make public remarks at a state memorial service held in his honour. Multiple outlets report that the siblings reflect on their father during the ceremony. The reports are consistent in stating that the tribute occurs at a state memorial, suggesting an official event marking his death and legacy. While the articles focus on the fact that his children speak, they do not provide additional details in the provided excerpts about the specific content of their remarks or the broader attendance and programme of the service. Across Brisbane Times, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, the central point remains the same: Professor Scolyer’s children appear at the memorial and pay tribute to him. The coverage therefore centres on their participation in an official state remembrance, without describing other notable speakers or circumstances beyond the memorial itself in the supplied text.
