Boort centenarian bugler

The bugler's performance remains a poignant centerpiece of the annual services, which will be held throughout New South Wales and Victoria this weekend.

This year's Anzac Day is expected to draw large crowds as communities reflect on the legacy of the fallen and the sacrifice of past generations.

Other special events include a Darwin march led by a Waler horse, representing the light horsemen of the Great War.

The services provide a vital opportunity for younger generations to connect with Australia's military history and express their gratitude to veterans.
