Lest We Forget: Australian War Memorial holds commemorative service like no other

The Australian War Memorial has held a commemorative service to mark an ANZAC Day like no other. With the dawn service usually taking place in front of tens of thousands of Australians, today’s ceremony was eerily quiet with just a handful of dignitaries. Prime Minister Scott Morrison led the tributes at the service, saying "lest we forget those who were so young who have made us so free". "Today is our most sacred day, the original Anzacs handed on a torch clenched and carried high and that is passed on to every generation of Australians," he said. "This ANZAC Day it is passed on to us." Despite services being cancelled due to strict social distancing measures amid the coronavirus pandemic, Australians from all corners of the country payed tribute to fallen soldiers from their homes this morning.
