Commemorate Remembrance Day

Monday, November 8, 2021, 1 – 2pm On 11 November, at 11am, State Library will join millions of Australians in observing one minute’s silence to commemorate Remembrance Day – a quiet moment held in recognition of those who have served, died, or suffered in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. Anzac Square Memorial Galleries, located beneath the Shrine of Remembrance in Brisbane CBD, will be open from 10am to 4pm for patrons wishing to explore the free exhibition (curated by State Library) or place a poppy in honour of Queensland-associated battalions, regiments, and other units. Commemorating from home? Wherever you are, and whatever you’re doing, you can stop and reflect this Remembrance Day with help from your voice assistant. It’s simple. Just ask Amazon Alexa or your Google Assistant to "Ask Anzac Stories" and follow the prompts for ways to commemorate. Once activated, Marto and Margaux from Triple M’s The Big Breakfast radio show will guide you through a selection of moving stories from State Library’s military collection. You can also listen to The Last Post and request a poppy be placed on your behalf inside Anzac Square Memorial Galleries through this award-winning program. Learn more about the Queensland war heroes we’ll be honouring this Remembrance Day and discover more ways to commemorate on the Anzac Square website.
