Wider call for respect
Today’s Anzac Day dawn service in Cambridge put out a call for to people to appreciate and respect first responders alongside the traditional honouring of defence force personnel. Hundreds gathered outside the Cambridge Town Hall at 6am today to mark the solemn occasion. – Viv Posselt
More than 600 people gathered outside Cambridge’s Town Hall later for the civic service three hours later to remember those who served and reflect on the values of courage, service and peace.
A strong community turnout, student voices and quiet moments of reflection marked the service held under a clear autumn sky. – Mary Anne Gill
