The moving sounds of the Last Post echo from driveways across Australia at dawn on Anzac Day, connecting people forced to keep their distance because of the coronavirus

That's the vision of Queensland music teacher Alastair Tomkins, who was inspired by the grassroots campaign for people to commemorate Anzac Day at dawn from their driveways.

With traditional services and marches cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, RSL leaders are encouraging people to honour servicemen and women at 6 on the morning of April 25 by standing beside their letterboxes or on balconies.

Mr Tomkins has launched a Facebook page as well as musicformateship.org where he asks anyone interested to download music sheets, start practising and notify their neighbourhood via a letterbox drop.

As word of the idea spreads, teachers from New Zealand and the United Kingdom, together with legendary jazz musician James Morrison, have expressed their support.
