The National Anzac commemorations took place at Pukeahu War Memorial Park in Wellington, while the country's largest dawn service crowd was in Auckland, at the city's War Memorial Museum.

Meanwhile, New Zealanders attending Anzac commemorations at Gallipoli this year will face "incredibly tight" security after a warning terrorists could target the events.
