Component select field

I'm trying to display a select list of values from a field on one of my attributes.  I have been able to display them, however, I was wondering if there was an easy way to eliminate the duplicates.  

The attribute is  <aura:attribute name="groupstructures" type="Group_Structure__c[]"/>

The section of code for the selection is
  
<lightning:layoutItem padding="horizontal-medium" size="4">
            <!-- TEST Create a dropdown menu with options for Section code-->
            <lightning:select aura:id="selectSection" label="Section" name="sourceSection" >
       			 <aura:iteration items="{!v.groupstructures}" var="gs">
            		<option value="{!gs.id}">{!gs.Section_Code__c}</option>
        		 </aura:iteration>
            </lightning:select>
</lightning:layoutItem>

Yes ..  Add it at the JS controller level .. .


OR add default   record 
  
@AuraEnabled
    public static List < Group_Structure__c > getG() 
    {
        Set<Group_Structure__c> idsSet =   new Set<Group_Structure__c>
        List<Group_Structure__c>  uni = new  List<Group_Structure__c> () ;
uni .add( new Group_Structure__c(name='all'));

		List<Group_Structure__c> ids = [Select Id ,Name from Group_Structure__c] ; 
		
		// do a for loop and remove all the duplicats and add the to Set and 
		// then convert set to list 
		// return the value 
		
		
        uni .addAll(idsSet);
        return uni ;
    }

Yes .. i Have an Easy way ..  

As You cannt return the Set from the @AuraEnabled methods .. you can create a set and then convert to list as shonw below 
  
@AuraEnabled
    public static List < Group_Structure__c > getG() 
    {
        Set<Group_Structure__c> idsSet =   new Set<Group_Structure__c>
        List<Group_Structure__c>  uni = new  List<Group_Structure__c> () ;
		List<Group_Structure__c> ids = [Select Id ,Name from Group_Structure__c] ; 
		
		// do a for loop and remove all the duplicats and add the to Set and 
		// then convert set to list 
		// return the value 
		
		
        uni .addAll(idsSet);
        return uni ;
    }

Thanks Raj!  I have one more question for you.. is it possible to add an "all" to the list?  I just realized that now that I have the list of values, the user should also be able to see all values returned.  thanks again!

Sorry, one small issue.. when I use your example, it adds a blank value to the list and not All.  I thought maybe because the other values are numbers so I tried 9999 instead of All but it still shows a blank selection instead of the value.  Here is what I have: 
//get a deduped list of section codes
     @AuraEnabled 
    public static List<group_structure__c> getsections() {
        List<group_structure__c> groupstructures = 
                [SELECT section_code__c FROM group_structure__c];
  	
        //added to pull in group numbers
        List<group_structure__c> sections = new List<group_structure__c>();
        groupstructures.add( new Group_Structure__c(name='All'));
        Set<String> fsections = New Set<String>();
        
        for (group_structure__c sec : groupstructures){
		      if (fsections.Contains(sec.section_code__c) == FALSE){
	              fsections.add(sec.section_code__c);
	              sections.add(sec);User-added image
              }
        }
        return sections;
     }
This is what I see when I add that line:
