Crowds gather for Brisbane dawn service
Thousands of people have started gathering in drizzling rain in Brisbane's CBD for the dawn service.
Armed with umbrellas and coffees, the crowds are filling Anzac Square and the surrounding overpasses to honour those who have fought and died at war.
Debbie Radford, from Brisbane, says it's an important tradition to remember the sacrifices made by many Australians, including her great uncle, who fought in World War II.
"We started attending the dawn services a number of years ago with our children and we were fortunate enough to go to Gallipoli in 2015 to go to the dawn service there. It was amazing what those young men went through," she told AAP.
"I think it's part of our history, I think it's something we need to keep telling our children and our grandchildren - it's who we are, it's part of us."
