Sydney's Anzac Day march has taken place in the CBD, two years after veterans and their families last took part in the tradition.
Among those marching is 100-year-old WWII veteran John Wilkinson who was able to tick off a bucket list item with his son and daughter by his side. You can read more of his story in our blog below.
