Last year saw a very different way of commemorating Anzac Day with New Zealanders in lockdown due to Covid-19.
This year, the installation of the Rotorua District Field of Remembrance on April 16 marks the start of public Anzac commemorations in the district.
The field of crosses will be installed at the Cenotaph in Government for the last time.
