The heir to the British throne has marked Anzac Day in a dawn ceremony in London.
Prince William, the Prince of Wales, has taken part in a dawn service at Wellington Arch at Hyde Park in London to mark Anzac Day and honour all Australians and New Zealanders who have died in conflict.
* As it happened: Anzac Day in New Zealand 2023.
Anzac Day has been observed in London since King George V attended the first service at Westminster Abbey in 1916 a year after the Gallipoli landings.

The prince laid a wreath and joined hundreds of others marking the 108th anniversary of the World War I conflict.
He has frequently commemorated Anzac Day at services in Britain.
King Charles also marked Anzac Day through the official Royal Family Twitter account, which wrote, "we pay tribute to all the men and women in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, who served and died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations."
King Charles will mark his coronation on Saturday night NZ time, eight months after his mother Queen Elizabeth II died at age 96.
