Remembrance Day 2026 – Lest We Forget, honoured with the RAAF, local RSL Sub-Branch, schools and community

Lest We Forget – Remembrance Day 2026

Today, our community came together outside Club Evans RSL to pause, reflect and remember those who have served our nation, those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and those whose lives have been forever changed by war and conflict.

At the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month, we are reminded that the freedoms and way of life we enjoy today came at an enormous cost.

Remembrance Day is more than a moment of silence. It is an opportunity to reflect on the courage, sacrifice and mateship of generations of Australians who answered the call to serve. It is also a time to acknowledge the families who waited at home, the loved ones who never returned, and the veterans who continue to carry the memories of their service.

A sincere thank you to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), our local RSL Sub-Branch, the schools, students, community representatives and everyone who attended today’s service. It was particularly heartening to see younger generations involved in the commemorations. Their participation reminds us of the importance of passing on the stories, lessons and sacrifices of those who came before us, ensuring they are never forgotten.

As an RSL Club, remembrance is at the very heart of who we are. We are proud to stand alongside our veterans, serving personnel and the wider community in honouring their service and sacrifice. Thank you to everyone who took the time to attend, pay their respects and help keep the spirit of remembrance alive in Evans Head.

We remember those who served.
We honour those who sacrificed.
We will never forget.

🌹 Lest We Forget. 🌹
