Since before many of us can remember, Australians have gathered on Anzac Day to pause and remember those who fought for our country on battlefields over the last century.
But 2020 will be different.
With national rituals of services and marches cancelled across the country due to the coronavirus crisis, the streets will be empty on April 25.
Instead, Australians have vowed to unite at the end of their driveways at 6am to pause and pay respects to the Anzacs who fought for their countries at a touching dawn service with a difference.
Across the Peel region, local residents have heard the call and will lead personal services and 'minutes of silence' of their own this weekend.
Social media trends are also emerging online inspiring people to make their own poppies and display them on fences, mailboxes or balconies - all from the safety of their own home.
Mandurah families have jumped on board, sharing their creations to show their respects this Anzac Day.
Mandurah artist Delys Griffin teamed up with local illustrator Elli Moody to offer free Field of Poppies colouring sheets.
Ms Griffin, who runs the business Dilli Delli, said the duo were inspired to create an activity that brought the community together in a particularly hard time.
"We realised that Anzac Day was going to be a bit different this year so we wanted to do something to respond to what is happening with COVID-19 but also show that we do remember," she said.
"We were thinking about an activity that parents could do with kids and take the chance to have a chat to them about the history, because normally it would've been such a big part of their schooling.
"We're finding that it can be used in so many different ways - people are taking it and doing it in their own unique ways... but it's about taking the opportunity to show people that we remember."
Janine Stacey constructed a soldier in the front yard of her Seascapes home from recycled materials around the house.
In an interview with the Mandurah Mail, Ms Stacey said it was her own way to honour the Anzacs.
"It's really important to remember, even though there are no traditional services this year," she said.
"We've all got families who have been in wars over the years so it impacts on everybody.
"People are doing all sorts of different things at the moment with the bears and the rainbows and I knew Anzac Day was coming so I thought to make an Anzac."

Ms Stacey said she was very pleased with how he turned out.
"I would never have made him if we weren't in isolation but he was reasonably quick and easy to make out of bird wire and bits and pieces that were laying about," she said.
"He needed poppies and I knew I had them in the house because I buy them each year but I couldn't find one.
"I made them out of drink bottles... and the one on the Anzac is made from a fruit and vegetable bag spray painted red. I recycle everything."
Mandurah Mail readers also flooded our Facebook page with touching tributes to the Anzacs by the way of homemade poppies, statues and candles.
Mary Robertson will be lighting up her homemade candle plaque and planting poppies in her front yard in Wannanup to show her respects.
"My great grandfather served in the war, my father was in the Navy during WWII and my nephews served in the Falklands and the Gulf wars," Ms Robertson posted on social media.
"I stand to honour them and all the fallen who served for us to have the lives we have now."
In Meadow Springs, Frances Edwards and her family made a wreath from real rosemary, art foam poppies and wire to mark their respects.
The wreath, in the front yard of their home, is surrounded by clay red poppies in preparation for the family's personal dawn driveway service.
"Anzac Day means so much as our family military history runs deep," Ms Edwards wrote on Facebook.
Madora Bay resident Tanya Rebelo started crocheting poppies last week to hand out to her neighbours.
"I shall pop one in every letter box in my street with a little note attached to say see you 5:55am on Saturday to pay our respects," she posted on social media.
Jan Cartmell's grandson Harry has been busy preparing for their family driveway dawn service in Madora Bay.
The 10-year-old made poppies to place on the front lawn and has learnt The Last Post on his guitar.
