A minute's silence

I shall be taking a minute's silent reflection at 11am today to think of all those who have lost their lives in war.

For a time the custom of doing this at 11am on the 11th November went into abeyance because so many people attend Remembrance services on the Sunday nearest to that date.

But I welcome the return of the custom that we take a break on the 11th whichever day it is, because actually stopping what you are doing on a working day is even more powerful. And we need to remember.
