Poppies tribute (and bear), Anzac Day 2020

Details

PhotographerReid PerkinsDescriptionAnzac Day 2020 fell during the Covid-19 Level 4 lockdown. This meant that the well-attended public activities traditionally undertaken to mark this event, such as Dawn Service and street parades, were unable to occur. Instead, people chose to show their respect by silently standing outside their homes at dawn on Saturday, April 25th, and through creating tributes, in the form of poppies or crosses, in front of their houses.

This photo shows small poppy decorations on the fence of a home in the Silverstream area. A teddy bear can also be glimpsed behind the fence, part of the Bear Hunt phenomena where people displayed bears and other stuffed animals around their houses to entertain passing children during the Covid-19 lockdown.Date Taken26th April 2020Geotagnot specified
