All members of the public are 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.

Remembrance Day 2023
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 sails of the Sydney Opera House will again be 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.
The projections will commence at approximately 5.00am until sunrise and then again at 8:00pm until midnight.
You can purchase a red poppy to wear from the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park Sydney and from the RSL Poppy Appeal:
