Some of the largest crowds since the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day gathered at the Ararat Cenotaph to pay their respects.
This year's service was special for many, including guest speaker Lieutenant Commander David Martinussen, who was the former Captain of the HMAS II.
When the service finished, the public was invited to lay a wreath and a handmade remembrance poppy or rosemary to honour those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
