In 2024, we continue our commemoration of the theme of ‘Service’ and ‘Service Not Self’ in the Festival of Remembrance.  

Through personal testimony and storytelling, through music and ceremony, the Festival will express the core values of Service which maintain the admiration and esteem the public holds for the Armed Forces and civil society. Values such as placing others before themselves, devotion to duty and unfailing reliability. 

The Festival will commemorate the above values through both the lived experience of our Armed Forces community by honouring veterans who lost their lives or were injured in service and actively serving personnel. It will further honour their families, descendants and representatives.
