Auckland Anzac Day service attendance down thousands

From Morning Report, 6:43 am on 26 April 2019

The Auckland RSA says attendance at this year's Anzac Day services was down by the thousands. President Graham Gibson says yesterday was an unusual day, as fewer people turned up to both the dawn and civic services yesterday morning than usual - despite Prince William being at the later event. Some RSAs in Auckland had to cancel outdoor marches and services and hold commemorations indoors in line with police advice following the Christchurch mosque attacks - they also say their numbers were low.
