Anzac Day 2026 at the Australian War Memorial

Tens of thousands gathered at the Australian War Memorial for the Anzac Day Dawn Service on Saturday 25 April 2026, marking 111 years since the first landings at Gallipoli.

The Dawn Service and National Ceremony were marked by reflection and respect, bringing together veterans, serving members, families and the broader community. Across generations, attendees paused in a shared act of remembrance.

The photographs from Anzac Day 2026 show the ceremonies as they unfolded from the early hours, and the many people who took part.
