A sole bagpipe player commemorated Anzac Day this morning at Mount Maunganui with a performance in front of a beautiful beach sunrise.

Lucy Olphert filmed this morning's performance at the Mount, describing it on Facebook as "one I will never forget".

Harawira Morris captured beautiful video footage of the commemoration.

"Thanks to this incredible man whoever you were! Nga mihi nui," she wrote.

"Lest we forget."

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Kiwis throughout the country got creative with how they marked Anzac Day.

People throughout the country stood at their gates at dawn instead of attending their usual services.
