November 11 marks the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I. Every year since 1919, nations have paused on Remembrance Day in memory of those who died while in military service.

Today, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, people in Australia and other countries will pause for a minute of silent reflection.

RSL Remembrance Day services will be held across the Illawarra, including at Woodward Memorial Park in Thirroul, Charles Harper Park in Helensburgh and Wollongong Memorial Gardens.

These events are free and open to everyone in the community.

To find an event near you, visit the RSL NSW website.
