Lots of coverage on the BBC news today with Prince Charles and Prince Harry at the ceremony at Gallipoli, and HMS Bulwark in attendance offshore. Pleased to see the Turkish dead remembered as well - they fought like demons. Also pleased to see the Irish president in attendance - two of the British regiments which were very hard hit in the landings were the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and the Royal Munster Fusiliers. And of course it need hardly be said that the Australian and New Zealand forces were very well represented.
