With COVID-19 restrictions forcing the cancellation of the city's traditional dawn service at the Carillon, Bentinck Street resident David McLeod and his son Brendon played the Last Post in the park for those in the vicinity.
It was part of the Music for Mateship initiative, which encouraged Australian musicians to play the Last Post in their neighbourhood to commemorate Anzac Day.
As the McLeods played, people holding lights could be seen in the park and in the front yards and driveways of the homes surrounding the park.
Brendon McLeod's great-great uncle, Edwin Arthur Hubbard, was killed at Fromelles in France in 1916 and the family has his diaries and letters.
Elsewhere in the streets of Bathurst, residents were standing out the front of their homes to mark the Anzac Day dawn - as had been encouraged by the RSL.
