Anzac Day services have taken place across Australia with thousands gathering to pay their respects.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was at a commemoration at North Bondi, while in central Sydney the faces of the country's soldiers were projected onto buildings as part of its sombre Dawn Service.

But the day's events were overshadowed somewhat, with the New South Wales Joint Counter Terrorism Team yesterday arresting a 16-year-old boy in Sydney on terrorism charges, in an apparent Anzac Day terror plot.
