The wet weather's kept some people away but it’s failed to put a dampener on local ANZAC Day commemoration services, with big crowds still turning out.

The Geelong RSL says numbers were down this year but Vice President ROB MC-CLURE says they were really happy to see so many children lining the route of the Malop Street march:

It was a different story at Point Danger though were as many as six-thousand people turned out.

Meantime a Vietnam veteran says he's devastated after losing one of his father's medals during Melbourne's Anzac Day parade.

The 66-year-old says at the end of the march he looked down and realised his dad's World War Two Campaign Medal had fallen from its ribbon.

Police are appealing to the public to help find it.
