Today is Remembrance Day when Australia commemorates members of its armed forces who have died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
November 11 is now observed around the world as a day to remember the sacrifice that countless of people have made in service to their country.
Adding extra poignance, this year's event comes 80 years after the nation's greatest naval disaster when the HMAS Sydney II was sunk with the loss of its entire crew.
On Remembrance Day, commemorative services are held across Australia at schools, offices, local community centres and war memorials.
The national ceremony is hosted by the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
You can watch the broadcast live on the ABC from 10:45am AEDT on Thursday, November 11, or on the Memorial's page.
Flags are lowered to half-mast about 10:30am ahead of services and raised after the minute of silence.
The red poppy is the traditional emblem of Remembrance Day: A single flower can be worn or laid at a memorial in tribute.

Many people know that I have been studying to become a celebrant in recent times with The Unleashed Collective - RTO 45480
A civil celebrant is not just a wedding celebrant (in fact you only become that later when appointed by the Attorney General), a civil celebrant is much more than that.
They are a facilitator of ceremony, they help to embrace and mark life's special moments and milestones and do so in a way that brings people together with symbols, words, music & meaning.
As I start out my celebrancy business, I ask that you think about what moments would you like to really acknowledge?
What milestones do you wish there was a way to celebrate?
I will be sharing different types of ceremonies in coming weeks on this page and sharing ideas, history behind them and what I offer.
Please feel free to ask any questions or send me a message.
I would be honoured to help mark your milestones and memories with you.
