Dawn services across Australia and New Zealand have honoured the men and women who died in armed conflict

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance across both nations. It marks the first landing of troops at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War One.

The Anzacs were defeated after eight months of conflict, where they suffered great hardships and mass casualties.

However, their bravery has become an enduring symbol of military sacrifice across Australia and New Zealand.

This year’s Anzac services are the first in three years to welcome the general public, following the Covid-19 pandemic.

Despite a Federal election looming and Covid-19 still simmering, thousands gathered across major cities to show their respects.
