Anzac Day - Services
ANZAC Day services are held at a wide number
of locations throughout the world, although the
key focal point for commemorations is of course Australia
and New Zealand. Being away from home doesn't mean
that you can't mark this special day -
tours operate to both Turkey and France, and there
are a number of official commemorations that can be
attended.
In Turkey:
ANZAC Cove - Annual commemoration, with additional
ceremonies at sites of particular note.
In London:
Battersea Park - Dawn service at the ANZAC
Memorial.
Cenotaph, Whitehall - Official wreath-laying
and parade.
Westminster Abbey - Official service of commemoration.
In France:
Villiers Bretonneux - Australian-French commemoration
programme.
Le Quesnoy - not an ANZAC Day commemoration
specifically, but an annual parade and service marks
the date that the New Zealanders stormed and captured
this heavily fortified town.
