Dunedin will pay its respects to servicemen and women at remembrance events starting with a cavalcade and memorial service this Sunday.
A service at the Cenotaph next Wednesday including a two-minute silence at 11am, will complete remembrance activities.
Organiser Phil Bradshaw said while traditionally a service on November 11 marked the observance of the end of World War 1, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, people now gathered to remember the men and women who fell in the two world wars as well as the uniformed forces serving in areas of conflict across the world.
On Sunday, about 20 veterans and RSA members will ride in a cavalcade of historic military vehicles from Montecillo Veterans Home and Hospital to St Paul's Cathedral for a memorial service.
The cavalcade will depart Montecillo at 9.15am heading for the cathedral, via King Edward St, Hillside Rd, Portsmouth Dr, Hanover St and George St.
The memorial service will begin at 10am, with special guests Mayor Peter Chin, Police Commissioner Howard Broad and the commanding officer of visiting Australian navy minesweeper HMAS Diamantina.
On Wednesday, the remembrance service at the Cenotaph in Queens Garden will begin at 10.45am.
Traffic travelling around Queens Gardens will be stopped at 11am and two minutes' silence will be interrupted only by a two-round gun salute from howitzers located in Queens Gardens and Unity Park Mornington and a single round from the Robbie Burns cannon in the Octagon.
A P51 Mustang will then make a flyover of the Cenotaph, before the service ends.
