ANZAC Day 2020

Like many families we participated in a dawn service unlike any previously held this year. As gatherings and official ceremonies were cancelled people looked for alternate ways to commemorate ANZAC day. Across the country there was a movement to participate in a unified but socially distanced way. Lighting a small candle and observing the minute silence made us all feel a little more connected during the height of the Sydney lockdown.

Lighting a Candle for our ANZACs

On ANZAC day this year, while usual memorial ceremonies were cancelled, Australians were encouraged to take part at home. This is a photo of the candle I lit at 6 a.m. to commemorate Australia's past and current servicemen and women as the ABC broadcast the National Service at the Australian War Memorial.
