Release)
Early To Bed Early To Rise
Go to bed
early and set the alarm if you don’t want to miss one of
the most moving and poignant Anzac Day ceremonies in the
country.
The candle-lit dawn service at Waikumete Cemetery starts at 5.45am and in the past few years has grown to the point where more than 3000 people attended last year.
Waikumete is the largest war graves cemetery in the country, with some 10,000 ex-service men and women buried there. They include three Victoria Cross winners.
Organised by the Waitakere City Council, the ceremony begins with a silent candle-lit vigil beside the cenotaph and war graves.
