Gallipoli 100: Wellington dawn service 'Why we come'

In Wellington the silence over the crowd of thousands at the Pukeahu National War Memorial Park was broken as the sound of soldiers marching in hobnail boots echoed across Anzac Square and the memorial park. The dawn parade was led into the square by Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae and Australia's Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove. As sunrise pierced the dark on the unusually still morning, a lone piper piped the Flowers of the Forest lament from a platform halfway up the Carillon.
