Australians have stopped to mark a minutes' silence on Remembrance Day, a chance to honour those who never came home from conflicts and those who did but were forever changed.
At 11am, exactly 103 years since the end of WWI, Canberra fell silent.
Governor-General David Hurley and Chief of the Defence Force Angus Campbell paid their respects at the national ceremony at the Australian War Memorial.
With the ACT out of lockdown, 500 guests attended a ticketed ceremony in the War Memorial's western courtyard.
This Remembrance Day also marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the War Memorial.
