REMEMBRANCE Day will see the nation fall silent at 11am today (Thursday, November 11) in honour of all those Australians who have suffered and died defending our nation, our values and our freedoms.
Services will be held across Australia, including by the Geelong RSL outside its sub-branch at 50 Barwon Heads Road, Belmont, from 10.45am.
This year marks the 103rd anniversary of the signing of the Armistice between Allied forces and Germany on November 11, 1918, which ended World War I.
The Victorian Remembrance Day commemoration service will be held at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne from 10.30am, and will be streamed live on the RSL Victoria Facebook page.
The national Remembrance Day commemoration service will be hosted by the Australian War Memorial.
This service will take place from 10.45am and be broadcast on ABC, radio, television and online.
