Sydney
Sydney's Anzac Day parade has begun with some of the country's oldest veterans waving from chauffeur-driven cars.
Thousands of people from Sydney and regional NSW have converged in the city to watch the annual parade.
War veterans, legatees and current servicemen and women are marching down Elizabeth Street to the cheering crowds.
Melbourne
Shunned when they returned home from the war, Vietnam veterans will lead Melbourne's Anzac Day parade.
Proudly donning their medals, veterans will march with their South Vietnamese counterparts at the front of the parade.
Waiting for their marching orders, veterans are catching up with old friends and remembering those who've died.
But they are proud and happy that feelings towards their time on the frontline have changed.
Brisbane
Generations of families have turned out in force for Brisbane's Anzac Day commemorations.
Children of all ages have lined the CBD streets with their families to pay tribute to soldiers past and present.
Australian Defence Force personnel have taken their position for the official start of the parade, which will continue through the city towards the Shrine of Remembrance.

Adelaide
About 6000 military veterans and current servicemen and women will take part in this year's Anzac Day parade in Adelaide.
The journey will take them from the War Memorial on North Terrace to the Cross of Sacrifice in warm and sunny weather this year.
A large crowd is expected to watch them pass after more than 8000 attended the traditional dawn service to kick off the Anzac Day services.
After last year's centenary of the Gallipoli campaign, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the battle of Long Tan during the Vietnam War where Australian forces won a significant victory despite being heavily outnumbered.
A number of Vietnam veterans will take part in the Adelaide parade including former members of the signals corp who played a key role in the Long Tan campaign.
