A far-from-traditional Anzac Day marked in isolation and in spirit has added new meaning to our most sacred day.

Private, individual and unique reflections replaced traditional ways to honour our defence personnel, past and present, for their service and sacrifice, courage and bravery.

A historic day marked under the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, without the traditional public services, ceremonies and marches.
