Anzac Day commemorates the 1915 Gallipoli landing of Australian and New Zealand troops in the First World War.

Services were held across New Zealand, Australia and Gallipoli on Saturday morning.

The occasion was also marked in Villers-Bretonneux, a village in the Somme region of France, which Australian units helped defend during the First World War.

A post on the Royal Family X account on Saturday morning read: “Today is #ANZACDay – which honours the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.”
