ONE hundred and two years ago today, the guns fell silent on the Western Front.<\/p>\n

The minute\u2019s silence to be observed at 11am observed around the world remembers those who died or suffered for their country, including Australia, in all wars and armed conflicts.<\/p>\n

Returned and Services Leagues (RSL) across the region are encouraging people to purchase and wear a red poppy to commemorate Australia\u2019s veterans.<\/p>\n

Torquay RSL president Bob Tyler said November 11 was a particularly important date to commemorate veterans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is on Remembrance Day, above all other days, that we recall the women and men who, through personal sacrifices, contributed to the evolution and identity of our country, Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must never forget how much we owe to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many Remembrance Day services will not be held this year because of coronavirus restrictions. Torquay’s Remembrance Day service at Point Danger will begin at 10.40am, and you can view the livestream by heading to facebook.com\/Torquayrsl<\/a>.<\/p>\n
