Remembrance Day is one of the most important days on Australia’s 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 11 November each year.
This is the anniversary of the Armistice of 1918 that ended fighting 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.
The poppy is a symbol of remembrance, and is worn on the lapel on Remembrance Day.
