News photographers Megan Fisher and Rechelle Zammit captured Anzac Day across the region, from the quiet reflection of dawn services to the many commemorations that followed.

Their images reflect the community’s deep respect and remembrance for those who served and tell a story of honour, unity and tradition.

Here are some of the standout moments they captured.
