Official Anzac Day photographer in London, 2026

We were the official photographer for Anzac Day in London on 25 April 2026, for the New Zealand and Australian High Commissions. We covered the day across three sites, with royal guests at two of them.

Anzac Day marks the landings at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. The 2026 ceremonies marked the 111th anniversary.

It has been marked in London since 1916, when King George V attended a service at Westminster Abbey and about 2,000 Australian and New Zealand soldiers marched through the city.

The day opened with the dawn service at Wellington Arch on Hyde Park Corner, organised by the two High Commissions and starting at 5am. The service includes readings, the Last Post, a silence, reveille and the national anthems. The Princess Royal attended and laid a wreath.

Later that morning we covered the wreath-laying at the Cenotaph and the march past along Whitehall. The Princess of Wales laid a wreath at the Cenotaph. We photographed her arrival, the wreath-laying and her conversations with guests.

Veterans, New Zealand cadets, Chelsea Pensioners and serving personnel took part in the march past. At the New Zealand memorial on Hyde Park Corner, a Māori cultural group performed.
