More than 150 people attended the ceremony at Memorial Park, with bagpipe player Col Scriven adding to the atmosphere as the sun rose in the distance.
Denman RSL Sub-Branch secretary John Cox said he was delighted with the turnout.
“It’s great to see so many [here] this morning,” he admitted.
“And, we’re expecting a very big crowd at the march.
“2018 marks 100 years since the Great War ended – and I think that resonates more with people these days.
“Today, we also remember the 33 soldiers from Denman, and the neighbouring areas, who were killed in World War I and II, as well as the Vietnam War.”
The Anzac Day Church ceremony takes place at St Bernard’s Catholic Church, Paxton Street, at 11am to be followed by a march from the church to Memorial Park.
The commemorative service begins from noon.
