2008 Anzac Day National Wreathlaying Ceremony

Add to watch list

The reverence of the 2008 Anzac Day wreathlaying ceremony is highlighted in this annual event from the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at Wellington's National War Memorial. Diplomats from across the globe pay their respects, alongside Governor-General Anand Satyanand, John Key and Trevor Mallard, and Wellington mayor Kerry Prendergast. Presenter Ian Johnstone provides a knowledgeable and unobtrusive commentary that brings historical context to proceedings. The coverage is thoughtfully directed by Ron Pledger and beautifully-shot, making for a poignant tribute to those who served.

On the Gallipoli Peninsula later today, thousands of New Zealanders and Australians — the majority too young to have any experience of armed conflict — gather to pay their individual and collective respects. They gather to honour those who died, those who suffered physical and mental wounds, those who helped forge our national identity.
– National War Memorial Advisory Council Chair Andrew Renton-Green in his prologue for the memorial service, in part two
