Kiwi celebrities pay tribute to Anzac Day heroes

While the Covid-19 lockdown took away the Anzac Day dawn parades, Kiwi celebrities didn't let the pandemic stop them from paying their respects to our war heroes.

Up and down the country, respecting social distancing rules, Kiwis were "united apart", gathering by their letterboxes and at the end of their driveways for a unique dawn service.

5.30am wake up for the fam to stand at the end of the driveway for Anzac Day Dawn Service #StandAtDawn Loving all the number 8 wire, kiwi ingenuity, made at home Anzac Decorations adorning people’s properties. Think it’s the start of a new tradition. Much respect to the Anzacs of past, present & future. #LestWeForget

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. #StandAtDawn #AnzacDay

Think of my grandparents all the time but especially today. Was great to see so many people in the street standing by their letterboxes at dawn to pay their respects on ANZAC day #lestweforget🌹

I was going to ditch the tiara for today’s #formalfriday and then I thought ... yeah nah. Fashion credits: Dearly departed Dad’s bow tie. Son’s shirt.
