Re: 11AM silence

On Sunday morning my daughter will be leading her Brownies on the Remembrance Sunday church parade. They march with the other organizations, guides, scouts etc. and all the old (and not so old) men from the British Legion. After the service they stand at the War Memorial in the churchyard and The Last Post is played. Every year the brownies look at my daughter and say, "Why are you crying, Brown Owl?"

I'll be at home watching the wreath-laying on TV and I'll shed a tear too. We owe them so much and 2 minutes, today and on Sunday, is so little to ask.
