Veterans attending Sydney's dawn service have welcomed a revival of the Anzac spirit as a large crowd packed the city centre in the absence of COVID-19 restrictions.
"To see the crowd here in Martin Place, there was not a spot left open to be standing or sitting," President of RSL NSW Ray James told AAP.
It was a great feeling to watch people stay and pay their respects, even as patchy rain fell across the ceremony, he said.
