Thousands and thousands of people turned up in the early hours of the morning to commemorate those who served and died in the war for Australia and New Zealand. The large crowd, which is estimated at over 20,000 people was spread all over Bondi beach, coming to a standstill as the Evzones stood tall and proud outside North Bondi RSL club. The attendees were touched by the Presidential Guards who were present to honour the ANZACS.
