Each year on November 11, we pause to remember those who have died while serving in all global conflicts. We honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country – and those who serve today.
Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on the enduring impact of war on communities around the world. Remembrance Sunday on 9 November allows those who may not be able to attend a Remembrance Day service during the week to pay their respects.
