ANZAC Day

Today is ANZAC Day. 
On the 25 April around the world Australians and New Zealanders gather to remember those who fell during battle and sacrificed for their country. At dawn thousands gather to remember those brave soldiers in Dawn parades, laying wreaths at memorials and for the sounding of The Last Post. The date and time of dawn reflects the landing of ANZAC soldiers in Gallipoli 99 years ago.


At conclusion of every Dawn Parade the Ode of Remembrance is said with those listening repeating the last line in response.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will Remember them.

Lest We Forget
