Anzac Dawn Service in London: the time and place to remember them

London's Anzac Day Dawn Service is a solemn coming together of Aussie and Kiwi expats in a unified ceremony of remembrance. It will be followed by events at the Cenotaph and Westminster Abbey

This Thursday 25 April is Anzac Day – the annual commemoration of the tragic First World War Gallipoli landings by Australian and New Zealand forces. Dawn Services to mark the day are held across Australia and around the world. One of the most heavily attended is at Hyde Park Corner in London which usually attracts around 3,000 people.

This year’s Anzac Day Dawn Service in London is taking place at the Australian memorial (alternating each year with the New Zealand memorial). It’s a solemn coming together of Aussie and Kiwi expats, as well as others, in a unified ceremony of remembrance.

The Dawn Service will commence at 5am and is open to all.

Later in the morning there is also a moving Anzac Day Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Cenotaph followed by a Thanksgiving Service at Westminster Abbey. Both of these events a ticketed though, to avoid over crowding. If you haven’t already got tickets for these, unfortunately you won’t gain admission.

Get on down to the Dawn Service if you can, to pay your respects to young Australians and New Zealanders who also travelled far from home, but never returned.

Lest we forget.
