Clunes, Creswick and Daylesford RSL sub branches reported large crowds on Sunday morning.

Creswick Primary School pupils conducted the entire service at Creswick.

Principal Rob Dixon said 11 Grades 5 and 6 children performed the service in front of about 100 people. It's the fourth year of involvement for the school.

"We are trying to set up a tradition to ensure Remembrance Day is never forgotten here in Creswick," Mr Dixon said.

He said pupils study the meaning of Remembrance Day in the lead up to the service at Creswick's Raglan St Memorial.

"We find parents come along to support their children and it really gives Remembrance Day in Creswick a boost," Mr Dixon said.

Remembrance Day - which is commemorated at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month - marks the time World War I unofficially ended.

One of the biggest crowds in recent years paid tribute to ex-servicemen men and women at the Clunes War Memorial in Fraser St.

Clunes RSL Sub Branch secretary Betty Duncan said a range of age groups attended the service.

"It was a very big crowd this year," Mrs Duncan said.

"There was a lot of young people there, which is really good for Remembrance Day, and something the Clunes RSL is looking for," she said.

"The Clunes Market Day was also happening so that could be one reason there was extra people there," she said.

Students from Wesley College and Clunes Primary School took part in the ceremony.

Clunes Primary School student Meagan McDonald read the ode, while sub branch president Kevin Kinnersly conducted the service.

Hepburn Shire Cameron ward Councillor Tim Hayes was also at the Clunes service.

Daylesford RSL also reported a strong attendance at Daylesford RSL Hall.

Secretary Neil Chamberlain said between 100 and 120 people attended, including a large percentage of tourists.

"There was quite a few visitors to Daylesford there. It's good that they've seen the way we remember our soldiers," Mr Chamberlain said.

Mr Chamberlain said 21 wreathes were laid with the support of Daylesford's organisations.

"Twenty one is a great effort for Daylesford, and the RSL is grateful for the support," he said.

Daylesford sub branch president Bill Wallace read the ode at the commemoration.
