'I had tears in my eyes': Thousands attend Anzac Day services around Aotearoa

'I had tears in my eyes': Thousands attend Anzac Day services around Aotearoa © RNZ/Vinay Ranchhod Attendees at Auckland's Anzac Day commemorations say they are thankful to be able to gather again after missing a year due to Covid-19. About 15,000 people attended the city's main Dawn Service at the Auckland War Memorial Museum under clear skies. Paul Banks, whose father flew in combat in World War II and whose mother was in the civil defence corps in London, said the service was particularly special. "It's been two years since we've had one of these. By the time The Last Post and the Lament were played, I had tears in my eyes. It was far more moving emotionally for me than I can remember in the past," Banks said.
