00:00 Across South Australia, crowds gathered as the sun rose to remember lives lost or changed
00:07 forever by war. It was a day to reflect for all generations.
00:15 I am always happy to wake up at four o'clock in the morning and come out and remember the
00:22 people that did save our country and helped us live the life that we have now.
00:27 I think that that sacrifice can be forgotten. So it's only two events a year that we ask
00:33 people to think back and remember all that sacrifice that was made.
00:40 In the CBD, Chair of the RSL Anzac Day Committee, Ian Smith, says it was an impressive turnout.
00:48 It's more than we've ever had since COVID. So I just think it's going from strength to
00:52 strength. People are really appreciating what we're doing and that's heartwarming. That's
00:57 why we do it. So I'm really glad that so many people have come out today.
01:01 For families of current service people marching today, like Archer and Aisha, it's a proud
01:07 day. We're here to support the people that saved
01:11 our country. It's really special for me. I feel really
01:13 proud. After the solemn commemorations of the morning
01:17 services, it's a chance to take part in the more light-hearted activities of Anzac Day.
01:23 For some, it's an opportunity to share memories and build camaraderie.
01:28 Because you get to come and catch up with old friends. I've got a few old friends that
01:31 you only see once a year. So it's really good to catch up, see what's been going on and
01:35 keep those connections from when you're in service.
01:39 Along the River Murray, people gathered at Kulkurna Station over the border in New South
01:44 Wales to pay their respects. While in the South East, people fared a cool
01:51 morning to see a flypast over the ocean. Commemorations from across the state.
