Australians Commemorate Anzac Day Differently Due To Coronavirus Lockdown

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 25: John Houghton plays the Bagpipes at the front of his house during Anzac Day commemorations in front of neighbours in the suburb of Glen Iris on April 25, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. Traditional Anzac Day ceremonies have been cancelled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent restrictions on gatherings of people. Anzac day is a national holiday in Australia, traditionally marked by a dawn service held during the time of the original Gallipoli landing and commemorated with ceremonies and parades throughout the day, however with social distancing measures in place because of coronavirus (COVID-19), Australians this year are observing the day differently. Anzac Day commemorates the day the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp (ANZAC) landed on the shores of Gallipoli on April 25, 1915, during World War 1. (Photo by Asanka Ratnayake/Getty Images)
