Sunshine Coast residents will gather at services across the region on November 11 to honour those who have served and sacrificed for Australia.
Communities will pause for a minute’s silence at 11am on Remembrance Day to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in service, those who returned home wounded or ill, and those who continue to serve today.
Originally known as Armistice Day, the occasion marks the anniversary of the end of fighting in World War I on November 11, 1918.
More than 60,000 Australians lost their lives during the conflict, while about 150,000 others were wounded, gassed or taken prisoner.
Today, Remembrance Day honours all Australian service personnel who have served and sacrificed in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
