In pictures: Anzac Day
- Published
Australia and New Zealand are marking Anzac Day, on the 99th anniversary of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps landing at Gallipoli in World War 1.
Anzac Day is when Australia and New Zealand remember their war dead and commemorate their veterans.
Events were held across both countries, as well as in other parts of the world, in remembrance of those who fought and died in wars.
The term Anzacs refers to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, who suffered huge losses at Gallipoli in Turkey in a failed allied assault in 1915.
More than 11,500 Australian and New Zealand soldiers died during the Gallipoli campaign. The defeat on the Aegean coast is widely seen to have forged the nations' characters.
