All members of the public were invited to participate in Remembrance Day commemorations across New South Wales.
In Sydney and throughout communities across the state, at local war memorials, schools, and in town centres, it is a time to come together to remember and reflect on the events that shaped our nation.
Official service at the Cenotaph
The 2024 NSW Remembrance Day service took place at the Cenotaph in Martin Place, Sydney, at 10:30am on Monday, 11 November.
The event was open to the public with everyone encouraged to attend the service to pay their respects to the fallen.
Poppy Projections on the Sydney Opera House
The most noticeable symbol of Remembrance Day is the red Flanders poppy, with people encouraged to wear one on their left side to mark the day.
The Sydney Opera House shells were illuminated with poppies on Remembrance Day at both dawn and at dusk to commemorate the service and sacrifice of our veterans and current serving personnel.
