Anzac Day: Special service for MIQ arrivals, thousands gather at dawn Sun, 25 Apr 2021, 9:29AM
Thousands of New Zealanders have this morning gathered together across the country to mark Anzac Day - for the first time in two years after Covid-19 restrictions meant the significant anniversary had to be marked without public services in 2020 for the first time since 1916.
And even recent arrivals in managed isolation have been able to mark the occasion.
Last year instead of dawn services and memorials Kiwis stood at the end of their driveways to remember those who served and lost their lives at war.

New Zealanders can return to more traditional ways of commemorating Anzac Day this year, after Covid-19 restrictions last year forced Kiwis to mark the anniversary without gathering in public for the first time since 1916.
Instead of dawn services and memorials, this time last year Kiwis stood at the end of their driveways to remember those who served and lost their lives at war.
