IT WAS a chilly morning across most of the country as Australians stumbled out of bed to pay their respects to our fallen Diggers.

Veterans, dignitaries and members of the public marked the 99th anniversary of Anzac Day, April 25, 1915, when allied forces landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula during World War I.

If you didn’t manage to make this morning’s service, we take you back through the moving moments. As the sun rose and Australians bowed their heads in silence, we remember those who died fighting for our country.
