New Zealanders have stood in driveways at dawn to pay their respects to the Anzacs - in isolation. It's the first time since Anzac Day services started in New Zealand that no public gatherings have taken place.

"Today we commemorate ANZAC Day in a way that hasn't been done before," she said. "Things are different this year, but while we cannot physically come together, I know we are united by our respect for our veterans and our service personnel.
