Australians have turned out in record numbers on the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings to honour the soldiers that fought and died for their country. Dawn services have been held in cities and town across Australia and on battle sites where Australians fought across Europe. More than 10,000 people travelled to Gallipoli for a ceremony to pay tribute to the Anzac troops who fought and died there century earlier (centre and bottom left). 'Today, all of us who have not been tested in war salute all of those who have,' Prime Minister tony Abbott told the crowd. In Sydney, a quarter of a million people lined George Street to wave flags and cheer veterans and current troops (top and bottom right) passing by the traditional Anzac Day parade, events that were repeated in cities and towns across the country. Earlier in the day, tens of thousands of people attended dawn ceremonies to commemorate our troops.
