This weekend, Peel residents were expected to return to war memorial services for the first time since 2019.
However, Anzac Day commemorations have been cancelled following the announcement of a snap three-day lockdown.
With services and marches cancelled across the region, Peel residents are asked to recognise past and current armed services personnel by standing in their driveways or living rooms at 6am for a dawn service.
Mandurah RSL sub-branch president Dave Mabbs encouraged residents to commemorate the Anzacs with a driveway dawn service as we did in 2020.
Pinjarra RSL sub-branch president Les Giles held a similar sentiment about continuing this new tradition.
"I drove around town to get a feel of the driveway services and there was so many people. I was totally amazed," he said.
"I think it's a wonderful tradition we might've started accidentally."
