About Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November each year. It marks the end of the First World War, when the Armistice took effect at 11am on 11 November 1918, and honours all Australians who have served and died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. Services are held at 11am, when a minute's silence is kept.
The red poppy is the symbol of remembrance. The purple poppy recognises the animals that served alongside Australian service men and women.
Flagworld's commemorative flags are made with respect and care in our Melbourne facility, and each purchase contributes to the RSL Poppy Appeal.
Displaying flags correctly is part of showing respect. See our Australian flag protocols and flag care guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which flags are appropriate for a Remembrance Day ceremony?
The Australian National Flag is the main official flag for the ceremony. Service ensigns may also be appropriate where relevant, and commemorative “Lest We Forget” flags can be used as supporting displays rather than replacements for the national flag.
Should I use an Australian flag, a Lest We Forget flag or both?
The Australian National Flag is the official national symbol. A “Lest We Forget” flag is commemorative and can support the ceremony, but it should not replace the Australian National Flag where official protocol calls for it.
What flag size is suitable for a school, RSL or community memorial?
Match the flag size to the pole height and available clearance. As a guide, Flagworld commonly pairs 1800 × 900 mm with a 6 m pole, 1370 × 685 mm with 4.5 m, and 2280 × 1140 mm with 7.5 m. For indoor services or smaller spaces, use a smaller flag or an indoor display set.
Which commemorative flag formats work best for indoor services?
For indoor services, use flags with a vertical sleeve on presentation poles, desk flags, or pull-up displays. Outdoor flagpoles normally use header-and-loops flags on a halyard.
Can Remembrance Day flags be stored and reused each year?
Yes. Fabric flags, poles and portable display hardware can be reused if they are kept clean, dry and undamaged between events. Generic designs are the easiest to reuse year after year.
How should commemorative flags be cared for and stored after the ceremony?
Wash polyester flags with a mild detergent when needed, let them dry fully, and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Taking them down in strong winds and overnight will also reduce wear.
