OK Jason......see what you think of these then.
1) early on the candles were lit for the ITN cameras....few folk about good opportunity grabbed with both hands.
2) Pictures of 600 lads that were lost...again kindly lit by the ITN newsman.
3) The Accrington Pipe Band who played moving music until 10.30. It gave me goosebumps and a lump in my throat the size of Gibraltar.
4) Young and Old...side by side playing their tribute to the fallen.
5) My candle....lit for the memory of those lost in all conflicts....it makes me unreasonably sad to think about their loss.
(OK perhaps it isn't unreasonable to be sad for those lost in battle)
6) some perspective of the attendance.......there were people there from all generations...the very young to the very old. All made the effort to be there with their candles and their thoughts.
