I walked the youngsters along to the War Memorial (3/4 mile away) and there we observed with others Two Minutes Silence in gratitude for those who gave up their lives or limbs so that we could live.

Pah! one minute’s silence is for pussies. I was silent all of the morning until I had a quick chat with the microwave mid arvo, oh, and my son rang me in the evening.
Even my senior’s club has a minute’s silence every fortnight for deceased members

Yes I did, also The Royal British Legion conducted a minutes silence yesterday afternoon at our football stadium
The silence was concluded by a blow on the whistle followed by a round of applause before kickoff.

This time of year always reminds me of my uncle Bob. Robert Duddy, who’s ship the HMS Matabele was torpedoed by a German U boat and sunk killing all of the 128 crew except for two. The majority died in the freezing water. The lifeboats could not be freed in time because they were frozen to their fixings. August 1942. I was two years old. The Matabele was an F26 Tribal Class destroyer.
