In bright sunshine they attended the ceremony at the Helles Memorial along with Prime Minister Tony Abbott and his wife Margie and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Irish President Michael D Higgins.
Mr Abbott had spent the day touring key battle sites on the peninsula. Prince Charles read an extract from Gallipoli by John Masefield and Prince Harry chose an extract from The Bathe by AP Herbert.
The Last Post was played by a trumpeter of the Prince of Wales' Division Band. A ceremonial gun firing from HMS Bulwark, flagship of the Royal Navy was then followed by a minute's silence for those who served their countries and perished during the campaign.
Mr Abbott placed a wreath at the same time as his New Zealand counterpart, John Key.
One hundred years on from the landings, the Turkish again demonstrated their military skills with an aerobatic display by the Turkish Stars of the Turkish Air Force trailing red smoke.
A Flotilla of Turkish and international navy vessels including HMAS Anzac sat off the Gallipoli peninsula in the Dardanelles. Security was tight with armed officers overlooking the scene.
The Helles Memorial marks the place of commemoration for many Commonwealth servicemen who have no known grave and stands on the tip of the Gallipoli Peninsula.
It takes the form of an obelisk over 30 metres high that can be seen by ships passing through the Dardanelles.
It has several panels for those who died or were buried at sea in Gallipoli waters. The memorial bears more than 21,000 names.
