ABOUT 250 people heard from Michal Mikeska, of the Royal Australian Air Force, at a Remembrance Day service at the Central Park War Memorial in Joondalup.
Hosted by the Joondalup City RSL and the City of Joondalup, the service commemorated the 101st anniversary of the Armistice signing, marking the end of World War I.
The service also featured students from the Francis Jordan Catholic School choir performing the national anthem, while Reverend John Myles delivered a prayer of remembrance and Benediction and Joondalup City RSL president Rick Green recited the Ode.

“If not for the efforts of our past and present servicemen and women, prosperous and peaceful countries like Australia and cities such as Joondalup may not exist as they do today,” Mayor Albert Jacob said.
