My love and thoughts to all serving and those who have previously.
And especially to families and friends of those dead or wounded in recent conflicts.

We had a lovely assembly from 10.45.
A couple of hymns then the Rev read the children some simple WWI poetry and explained about the respect and thanks due and the importance of the day.

We then observed the two minutes silence at 11.00.
The children behave beautifully, I was so proud of them.

The only question I have is whether we will observe this at Boots on Sunday.
I hope so.
I'm used to observing both - once on the 11th itself (Armistice Day) and also on Remembrance Sunday.
If not, at least I've had 2 minutes of reflection and respect.
