Anzac Dawn Service, Cranmer Square

After last year's ANZAC commemoration in North Hagley Park, as promised this year's ceremony moved a little closer to its old site in Cathedral Square.

  1. Hi There

    sorry to be a pain but you have named one of the pictures wrong, Christchurch RSA President Russ Barron is incorrect as that person is NOT Russ Barron that person is Paul O'Connor. Russ Barron is the President of the Christchurch RSA and is also my Father

    Thanks

    Liv Barron
