Thousands attend Gallipoli ceremonies

Prince Charles read a sombre psalm as some 20,000 people prayed and sang hymns at dawn today in Canakkale, Turkey, to mark the 90th anniversary of the devastating First World War Gallipoli campaign.

Each year, thousands of people, many of them Australians and New Zealanders, travel to the battlefields in north-western Turkey on Anzac Day – the anniversary of the April 25, 1915, start of the campaign.
