When I moved here from Ilford over 12 years ago Remembrance Sunday had taken a back seat due to a changing population. Thought I would Google my old local paper to see what was planned for Sunday and this was on the front page, a very pleasant surprise.

Certainly seemed more people than in previous years, the centenary of the great war and the ceramic poppy display at the Tower of London must have had an effect.

Others have mentioned the silence was well before 11.00.
I have also read there was a political speech rather than a prayer after the early silence if so surely this was the wrong time and place.
The Cenotaph service on the BBC was as moving as ever.

I agree Jeane, what a shame the last one was necessary.
