GALLERY: Bunbury remembers fallen

War veterans and community members gathered at Anzac Park for Bunbury's Remembrance Day service yesterday to show their respect for soldiers who have died at war.

The service was led by Bunbury RSL life member Alf Mainstone and wreaths were laid by Bunbury Mayor Gary Brennan, local politicians, school children and community members.

Bunbury RSL president John Gelmi said he was pleased more than 200 people attended the service.

"I thought there would be about 150 people who would attend the service but I think it was more than 200 people, which is more than we had last year," he said.

"I think because we had the centenary of Anzac Day with big crowds at the services earlier this year, there was more interest in the Remembrance Day service."

Mr Gelmi said he believed attendances at Remembrance Day services in Bunbury would continue to grow until 2018, which marked 100 years since the end of World War I.

"Next year marks 100 years since the start of some major European conflicts and I think there will be even more interest in Remembrance Day," he said.

Mr Gelmi said the service was an opportunity for people to reflect on the sacrifices made by Australian soldiers.

"The crowd was respectful and the war memorial looked fantastic because the Bunbury City Council did some gardening around it," he said.

"We had members of the Bunbury 10th Light Horse Troop guarding the war memorial for the second year, which I thought was great"
