ANZAC Day Commemorations




Join the Australian and New Zealand embassies for a memorable and poignant day of commemoration that visits the war cemeteries of Tyne Cot and Toronto Avenue as well as the Menin Gate at Ypres.

The bus leaves Brussels at 7am. People living outside of Brussels can join the group at the cemeteries if they would like to but should contact the embassy, especially for inclusion in the ceremony at Menin Gate.

Additional ceremonies that you may like to join independently are the Dawn Service (06:00) at the Buttes New British Cemetery and the Last Post ceremony (20:00) at the Menin Gate.

Seats on the bus are on a first-come-first-served basis. An email must be sent to the Australian embassy, as well as the signing of a deed of waiver. Full details are here - http://belgium.embassy.gov.au/bsls/media.html

Please check the embassy's website for full details and continue to refer to the site in the lead-up to ANZAC Day due to the increased security threats in Belgium.
