Remembrance Day is one of the most important days on our commemorative calendar.

It's a day when we acknowledge those who died or suffered while serving in wars, conflicts and peace operations. Remembrance Day is held on November 11 each year.

This is the anniversary of the Armistice that ended fighting with Germany in World War I.

People in Australia and many other countries observe one minute's silence at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month because that's when the Armistice came into effect. It's a time to honour our service personnel who died or suffered in service of Australia.
