ANZAC Day 2025

That this House solemnly marks the 110th anniversary of the landings at Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915; honours the extraordinary courage, resilience, and sacrifice of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who, alongside British and other Allied forces, endured unimaginable hardship during the Gallipoli campaign; reflects on how that harrowing campaign, though marked by immense loss, became a defining moment in the emergence of modern national identities for both Australia and New Zealand; pays tribute to all those who gave their lives in defence of freedom and democratic values; celebrates the enduring bonds of friendship, shared history, and common values that unite the peoples of the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, further strengthened by their shared Sovereign, His Majesty King Charles III; and expresses its gratitude to all those involved in organising the 2025 Anzac Day commemorations in London, including the services at Hyde Park Corner, The Cenotaph in Whitehall, and Westminster Abbey on Friday 25 April 2025.
