President of the Dubbo RSL sub branch, Tom Grey, said Remembrance Day was a time to not only remember the fallen, but remember those who were serving the country today.

"There are always people to remember."

Mr Grey said a morning tea was to be held for the current and ex-serving personnel at the Oxley Room in the Dubbo Regional Theatre from 10am, prior to the ceremony at the cenotaph at 10:30am.

"Everyone is welcome to come to the service," he said.

For those who were unable to attend today's service, Mr Grey said he encouraged them to have a minute of silence at 11am.

"It's very important for us to remember the sacrifices people have made for our country," he said.

November 11 marks the day in 1918 when the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of fighting.

Mr Grey said the Germans called for an armistice, suspension of fighting, in order to secure a peace settlement.

He said he hoped to see many red poppies at the ceremony.

"The poppy not only represents those who have fallen in Flanders Field, but it also keeps alive the memories as to why they lost their lives."

Dubbo mayor Mathew Dickerson said he encouraged the community to participate in the ceremony and lay wreaths at the cenotaph.

"Since 1919, Australia has held commemorative ceremonies on November 11 to recall the end of hostilities of World War I," Cr Dickerson said.
