Anzac Day Last Post Ceremony, 25 April 2017

Today marks the 102nd anniversary of the landing of Anzac troops at Gallipoli. The Anzac legend has become an important part of the identity of both nations, shaping the ways in which they view both their past and their future. For those who cannot be here at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra with us today, we are now streaming the 2017 Anzac Day National Ceremony live. The ceremony begins with the traditional order of service including the Commemorative Address, wreath laying, hymns, the sounding of the Last Post, observance of one minute’s silence, and the national anthems of Australia and New Zealand. The ceremony will conclude at approximately 12.30pm.

Years ago I was in a hotel in Brisbane next to the war memorial, not knowing that it was Anzac Day. Very impressed with the troops who performed the tribute. Thank you Australia. #wewillremberthem
