Armistice Day commemmorations today

Remembrance services are being held throughout the country today for Armistice Day.

The 91st anniversary of the symbolic end of World War I actually falls on Wednesday, but it is usually marked on the nearest Sunday.

Dunedin has an event at St Paul's starting at 10 o'clock, while the Auckland War Memorial Museum is holding two services at 11 o'clock and one o'clock.

RSA branches all over the country mark Remembrance Sunday today, and on Wednesday the Governor-General will attend a service at the National War Memorial in Wellington.
