Griffith's Remembrance Day service will be held at Memorial Park on November 11

Every year, on November 11, Australia comes together for a moment's silence at 11am to recognise the anniversary of the armistice that brought an end to World War I on the 11^th hour of the 11^th day of the 11^th month.

Griffith will be recognising the importance of the day with the Griffith RSL sub-branch's traditional poppy appeal and service at the cenotaph.

Secretary of the Griffith RSL sub-branch Berdene Oxley-Boyd encouraged all of the community to come out and pay respect.

"Money raised from the poppy appeal will remain in the Griffith community to provide support for veterans and their families," she said.

"We invite the community to come along and commemorate with us, join us in honouring those who gave their lives in service."

Ms Oxley-Boyd added a special thank you to students and staff at Marian Catholic College for their help selling poppies around town.

Griffith's Remembrance Day service will begin at 10.30 in Memorial Park.
