It feels like a long time ago that this nation has had the chance to commemorate Anzac Day in full unfettered style. I’m excited about this weekend.
Anzac Day last year was caught in the crosshairs of Level 4 lockdown. Most dawn services were cancelled or moved online. Many of us ventured outside our houses, to stand in our driveways with candles or lanterns, as we waited for first light. I had a bugler in my street who belted out The Last Post. They bungled it badly, but the sentiment was there.
