Gallipoli Day is the anniversary of the day soldiers from the Lancashire Fusiliers took part in landings on W beach to the west of Cape Helles during the First World War.

At dawn on the 25 April 1915 soldiers landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in what is now modern-day Turkey. The landings came at heavy loss of life and the eight month campaign was one of the costliest of the war.

The Lancashire Fusiliers were famously awarded ‘Six VCs before breakfast’ and W Beach was renamed Lancashire Landing in honour of the Battalion that captured it.

The anniversary was marked by a service in Bury Parish Church on Sunday 27 April 2025. The parade started from the church to Gallipoli Gardens and the Fusiliers Museum.
