Some schools, including Peel High School, used the days on either side of the weekend to hold their own services with Remembrance Day falling on Sunday in 2018.

On Saturday, the Tamworth CBD was brought to a historic standstill as the world prepared to commemorate 100 years since the end of The Great War.

The 12th/16th Hunter River Lancers were granted Freedom of Entry to the City which saw soldiers march down Peel Street with rifles and swords drawn.

The march culminated in Bicentennial Park where there was a large commemoration preceding Remembrance Day. 

On Sunday, Tamworth’s youth were at the forefront of Remembrance Day commemorations.

The Tamworth RSL’s service at town hall saw a resurgent crowd, this year, on account of the centenary of the armistice and the sub-branch.
