25 April 1916 was the first unofficial ANZAC day, commemorated not just in New Zealand. It was marked by a wide variety of ceremonies and services in Australia, a march through London, and a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt. In London over 2,000 Australian and New Zealand troops marched through the streets.

ANZAC Day was gazetted as a public holiday in New Zealand in 1921.
