The ANZAC Day march has always been the highlight of this significant day. The first march took place in Brisbane in 1916, as shown in this photo, where a large number of people gathered on the streets to witness soldiers on horseback.

The tradition of marches became popular with veterans in the 1920s, as a way to honour their fallen friends and express comradeship publicly.
