At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, World War I officially came
00:08
to an end as an armistice was signed between Germany and the Allied powers.
00:13
105 years on, a sea of people have gathered here in Martin Place with red poppies pinned
00:19
to their shirts to honour the Australian servicemen and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice
00:25
serving their country.
00:26
A host of speeches and wreath laying were followed by the sounds of the last post which
00:31
echoed through the city as the streets fell silent.
00:35
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
00:42
Lest we forget.
00:45
And we would encourage particularly our younger people to learn about the sacrifice of our
01:02
servicemen and women so that this is a commemoration that will continue into the future.
01:08
And we're very humbled by the fact that so many young people do attend these ceremonies.
01:13
The New South Wales Premier and the Environment Minister were among the 500 strong crowd that
01:18
gathered here in Sydney Centre.
01:21
Similar ceremonies have been occurring across the Commonwealth today as countries each honour
01:26
their own fallen soldiers.
