At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the fighting on the Western Front stopped as the armistice came into effect
More than a century on, this day stands as a time to reflect and remember those who died while serving or as a result of their service in wars, conflicts, and peace operations
At 11 am today, we will observe a 2 minute of silence to honour all service personnel who died in the service of our country
For many, today will be a time for quiet reflection about friends, relatives or ancestors who have served
Recited to commemorate wartime service and sacrifice since 1921, The Ode of Remembrance has been adopted as a memorial tradition by numerous Commonwealth nations and encapsulates the sentiments felt
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
We will remember them
