CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 25: The empty Australian War Memorial on April 25, 2020 in Canberra, Australia. The memorial would typically be full of people following the Anzac Day Dawn Service. Traditional Anzac Day ceremonies have been cancelled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent restrictions on gatherings of people. Anzac day is a national holiday in Australia, traditionally marked by a dawn service held during the time of the original Gallipoli landing and commemorated with ceremonies and parades throughout the day, however with social distancing measures in place because of coronavirus (COVID-19), Australians this year are observing the day differently. Anzac Day commemorates the day the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp (ANZAC) landed on the shores of Gallipoli on April 25, 1915, during World War 1. (Photo by Rohan Thomson/Getty Images)
