Hundreds lined the streets to watch the march from the USMC, before they gathered around the cenotaph for the 11am Anzac service.

The names of the Narromine service personnel who lost their lives during conflict were read to the crowd and wreaths laid on the cenotaph in their memory.

Narromine High School vice captain Maddilen Brennan said Anzac Day was a time for remembrance and respect.

"Year after year we celebrate the bravery of our soldiers, each year attempting to understand what their families went through to protect this country, and yet year after year we never really grasp the pain and suffering they endured," she said.

"We take the time not only to remember the bravery and the sacrifice of these great heroes but to walk a mile in their shoes and show them respect and gratitude for their courage, for these soldiers not only protected us but they imparted the core values of Australia: to always help out a mate, not to give up no matter how desperate things look, to keep together through thick and thin, and to be resilient and selfless."

The Anzac spirit continued today in Australia's soldiers, school captain William Coleman said.

"We still have some of our brave men and women overseas at this very moment in Afghanistan, Sudan, the South Pacific and the Middle East doing their duty to protect Australia," Mr Coleman said.

He said from the largest cities to the smallest outback towns there was never a place to small to hold an Anzac memorial to remember the soldiers.

Representative from the Narromine Uniting Church Arthur Woolums said a prayer at the service to acknowledge everyone who was affected by war.

"We give you thanks today for the freedoms we enjoy in this land and we gather here this morning to remember those who laid down their life to defend those freedoms," he said.

"Help us today to remember the sacrifice of the first Anzacs both Australian and New Zealander and the generations of men, women and children who have died in the many conflicts since then.

"Help us to remember those who still bare the physical and mental scars and disabilities of their service."

A Dawn Service and a service at the War Graves were also held in Narromine to commemorate Anzac Day.
