This morning was the first time we had ever attended an Anzac Day dawn service in Tamaki makaurau/ Auckland. We went to Otahuhu Cemetery, which had a wide range of young and old people. It was a very moving and brief ceremony. Veterans were in the front line, facing the flag and students from Otahuhu Intermediate, singing in support, peppered with silence.
