Dear Wellington - ANZAC Day will look a little different for us this year - however there are many ways for you to acknowledge the incredible men and women who have served our communities and given their lives for our country.

We invite you to share a memory or photo to commemorate this special day on Neighbourly below. It could be a story of a member in your family who served - or perhaps the way you and your family celebrate ANZAC Day each year. (It might even be a photo of your freshly baked can't be-beaten ANZAC cookies).

We also invite you to take part in Stand at Dawn and join us at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’.

Stories from the ANZACs

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?

Cyclist riding a bike plus holding onto a dog's lead with a golden what looked like a small Labrador dog.

Linda from Silverstream

I was upset to say the least as the dog has to get off the footpath at speed and whilst trying to locate the road of which it eventually did, the cyclist stayed at his speed he was going! I did believe it was illegal to either ride a bike with a dog on a lead, either on a footpath or on our roads. The dog had no control as he was at the control of the cyclist, to be honest he did not appear to care or be concerned about the dogs welfare. I actually got out of the vehicle following seeing what had happened, and as the cyclist choose to cross the road at the next intersection I did speak to him with my concerns.
?please what can be done about this incident as it is the second time I have observed the same cyclist with the same dog being attached to a short lead and travelling at speed, ?Is this illegal, please let me know how to respond and what to do, to help the animal, please.

Been to three different supermarkets during the lockdown period and one of them is unsatisfactory when I visited.

Silverstream New World is doing a great job of trying to keep customers safe.

Pak N Save Upper Hutt is taking good measures and being serious about it.

But Countdown in Queen Street, Upper Hutt let the side down with very sloppy and comical so-called crowd entry control and little organised and unclear or no markings at or near the check outs.
