Don’t be surprised to see poppies flowering in the stores, or even decorated along the streets.On the month of April, the people of New Zealand (and even Australia) will remember ANZAC day.
This is an occasion that people, every year, pay tribute and remember. ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, these members landed at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War. It is a public holiday in some parts of the world like the Cook Islands, Samoa and many more.
The Dawn Parades and other commemoration or memorials nationwide are attended by the local community, as well as the uniformed community service groups.
ANZAC Day promotes a sense of unity for everyone. Paper poppies are given away and worn as symbols of remembrance. The day is a half-day holiday in New Zealand, as per the Anzac Day Act 1966. But this is not only a remembrance of war, it is also a celebration of life for many!
