      People in Hamilton also have two opportunities to pay tribute this morning.The Dawn Service starts at 6am at Memorial Park, and there'll also be a civic service from 10 o'clock.

      Hamilton Mayor Andrew King says crowds have been getting bigger year by year, and today's events are an important part of acknowledging everyone who's been in conflict.

      He says it's about honouring the families who lost loved ones, those who came back haunted and people who didn't come back at all.

      In Dunedin, Queens Gardens is expected to be packed once again for this morning's commemorations.
