Jerilderie RSL Sub-branch member Jeff Stein welcomed those attending, following which sub-branch secretary Karen Davis spoke on the history of Remembrance Day.
Remembrance Day marks the anniversary on the 1918 armistice.
The agreement saw the guns fall silent on the Western Front at 11am on November 11 that year, ending four years of combat during World War I.
The dame has been commemorated every year since, as a way to remember the fallen, those who served and those still serving today.
Karen would like to thank everyone who attended the service, especially given the heat.
Jeff Stein welcomes people to the Berrigan ceremony.
