Taradale Anzac dawn service at Lone Pine cemetery
The Anzac Day dawn service at Lone Pine Cemetery, Taradale, was one of more than 30 in Hawke's Bay - from Kaiuku Marae at Mahia in the north to the Pongaroa Cenotaph in the south – and among more than 500 services nationwide. Those who fought and died for their country were remembered at dawn parades and mid-morning community and civic services, by RSA and services representatives, mayors, MPs and high-school students in uniform. There were also children laying wreaths, bouquets and poppies, remembering grandfathers, great-grandfathers and great-great-grandfathers who served in the wars, many to never return. HBToday photographer Warren Buckland was up early capturing images of the dawn parade at Lone Pine Cemetery.
