Jacinda Ardern lays flowers outside Premier House to mark Anzac Day

April 25, 2020

The PM paid tribute outside her Wellington residence rather than at a dawn service, which have been cancelled due to Covid-19.

Jacinda Ardern has marked this year's Anzac Day outside Premier House.

The Prime Minister, alongside partner Clarke Gayford and her father Ross Ardern, stood in silence at dawn to commemorate the day.

The changes we've been forced to make pay tribute to families who made much greater sacrifices.

Ms Ardern stood outside her Wellington residence for about 20 minutes before laying a bunch of flowers.

Members of the public also gathered outside the house.

This year, Anzac Day has to be remembered at home due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Wellington’s Pukeahu War Memorial Park and Auckland War Memorial Museum were much quieter than on a normal Anzac Day.

Anzac services have been cancelled, but Kiwis were asked to remember fallen soldiers by standing at their gates at 6am.
