Anzac Day marked in Portsmouth on last surviving Gallipoli ship

Eileen Clegg, from the National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) which helped organise the service, said: "Anzac Day is the most important day of commemoration in New Zealand and Australia, and HMS M.33 serves as an excellent symbol of the sacrifice made in Gallipoli and beyond."

"This event allows anyone, serving or not, to honour this sacrifice from those who lived and served thousands of miles away," she said.

The campaign, which lasted eight months, pitted British, French, Indian, New Zealand, Australian and Canadian forces against the Ottoman Empire.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were killed and wounded and it remains one of the most famous battles of World War One.
