Each year, at 11am on the 11th of November, Australians observe one minute’s silence in memory of those who have died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.
This year is like no other, if you cannot make it to a physical event for Remembrance Day activities, you can connect virtually to the live stream for Remembrance Day at Concord Hospital.

11 November significance
Originally known as Armistice Day, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November and marks the signing of the peace agreement between Germany and the Allies that ended the Great War of 1914-1918.
The Second World War began just 21 years later. Almost a million Australians served during that conflict lasted close to six years. Armistice Day was then renamed Remembrance Day.
Now Remembrance Day is a day to remember and honour all Australians who have served.
