How is Anzac Day celebrated? |
Answer
Dawn services, and services at other times during the morning, are held at war memorials in small and large communities. The capital cities also have marches through the city streets, usually to the war memorial or Cross of Sacrifice where a commemorative service is held. The state Governor takes the salute. Veterans of all wars in which Australia has been involved are remembered, not just those of Gallipoli. Present day serving members of the armed forces also march, with music provided by pipe and other community and service bands. Public attendance at the events is increasing in recent years.
