Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau. We will remember them.
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.

One lane of State Highway 4/Anzac Parade in Whanganui remains closed after last week s slip near Georgetti Rd.
Waka Kotahi/NZ Transport Agency says it is considering its options for the highway, including moving the road itself.
The majority of the debris blocking the road was cleared after the slip which occurred on Easter Monday, but that section of the busy route remains with one lane under traffic light control.
