Victorian State Remembrance Day Service

𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 🕊

Each year, at 11am on 11 November—the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month—we pause to honour all who have served, and those who gave their lives, in war and peacekeeping operations.

On this day in 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of devastating conflict. Germany’s signing of the Armistice marked the end of the First World War and gave birth to this day of remembrance.

The Shrine's architecture plays a pivotal role on Remembrance Day. At exactly 11am, the Ray of Light illuminates the word Love on the Stone of Remembrance in the Sanctuary, marking the precise moment the Armistice was signed. This moving alignment can be viewed again by the public at midday.

All are welcome to join us for the Victorian State Remembrance Service.

Bookings are not required.
Please note that seating is limited.
