ANZAC DAY

Ignorant English person herewhy do you have this so early in the day NZ? Surely you’d get more of a turn out if it was later. Honest question- not trying to offend. Amy Langford

The Australian forces landed in Gallipoli at dawn, therefore ever since there has been a dawn parade to mark this event, NZ copied the dawn parade 16 years later and has held it ever since. Matthew Harrison
