One RSA District President is celebrating the turnout at ANZAC services yesterday despite the wild weather in some parts. 

The mid-morning service at Wellington's Pukeahu National War Memorial Park had to be canned because of the high winds. 

Tony Hill said that while there are fewer people from the World Wars, a lot of new veterans are coming through. 

It includes those who fought in Iraq, East Timor, and Afghanistan. 

He told Andrew Dickens that they’ve had abut 62,000 people who are now veterans since 1990.
