ANZAC Day - Westminster Abbey

The 25th April is ANZAC Day which marks the anniversary of the landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. This was the first time Australian and New Zealand forces had fought together under the same command as the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (or ANZACs).

We applied for tickets for the ceremony through the Australian High Commission and were lucky enough to receive some. (For those interested, Australians can apply for a ballot for Royal Events throughout the year at http://www.uk.embassy.gov.au/lhlh/EventsRoyal.html).

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn;

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning;

We will remember them.
