MELBOURNE, Australia (AFP) - A major Australian sex exhibition defended its decision to open as the country marks Remembrance Day and the armistice that ended World War I.

David Ross, founder of "Sexpo", said it had as much right as any other to mark the day and promised to let veterans or present members of the armed forces in for free if they wore medals or uniform, waiving the normal 20 dollar (15 US) entrance fee.

A spokesman said that as the event was timed to open on November 11 organisers had cancelled the normal style of opening, which would have featured porn stars.

They predict a record crowd of 70,000 this year at Sexpo, which runs until Sunday.
