Their reasons were many and varied, but thousands of residents were united in their attendance and recognition of the Anzac Day memory during the parade through Perth’s CBD.

For many people it was their first time attending the dawn service and parade.

Mark Bastin says he feels that it is his “duty” to attend the early service and parade every year to honour the Anzac spirit.

“It’s about showing support for the diggers,” he said.

For Danielle Challis and her children Jack, 5, and Tom, 3, it’s a responsibility they enjoy every year.

“Their father has been in the navy for the past 10 years, so they enjoy watching their dad march in the parade,” Ms Challis said.

For Rachel Johnson and Natalie Beal, commemorating Anzac Day is about paying tribute to Australia’s heritage.

Helen and Trevor Howitt have been to their local dawn service with their two sons, but this year decided to attend the larger Perth service and parade for the first time.

“We wanted to come because we’ve never been before and Anzac Day is an important part of Australia’s culture and history,” Ms Howitt said.

“It’s interesting to see how many young people are here today too.”

Ms Hewitt said both her grandfathers fought for Australia – one in World War One and one in World War Two.

She said she wanted her sons to experience the Perth dawn service for their family history as well as the country’s history.
