Remembrance Day 2014

November 11, 2014 @ 9:30 pm - November 12, 2014 @ 6:00 am

Every year, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we pause to remember those men and women who have died or suffered in all wars and peacekeeping operations.
The Service: from 10.30am

Join us for the Victorian State Remembrance Day Ceremony, attended by the Governor of Victoria. One minute of silence will be observed at 11am. The Royal Australian Navy Band will perform and there will be an RAAF flyover. Schools are encouraged to attend and student representatives will be invited to lay wreaths after the Governor’s address and formal wreath layings are complete.

Ray of Light: 11.50am – 12.10pm

All are invited to visit the Sanctuary to witness the sun pass across the Stone of Remembrance, landing on the word ‘LOVE’ at 12 noon. Remembrance Ceremonies, featuring a simulation of the Ray of Light, will take place in the Sanctuary every half an hour from 12.30pm, with the last ceremony held at 4.30pm. The Flag Ceremony and Last Post is conducted on the Shrine WWII Forecourt at 5.00pm.

Galleries of Remembrance: 12.30pm – 7.00pm

The Galleries of Remembrance will be dedicated on this day, which also marks the 80th anniversary of the dedication of the Shrine of Remembrance. As this is the highly anticipated opening of the Galleries of Remembrance, visitors may encounter delays. Access will be via the Visitors Centre Entry Courtyard only.
