mistletoeI had my two minutes silence this morning at 11a.m. The BBC showed Big Ben and the various markings of the hour around the country including a wreath laying ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. I think I'd like to visit there.
Here is a video of reconstructed trenches, Tyne Cot cemetery, the largest Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in the world; Ieper Town Hall which is the World War I museum and well worth a visit; a ceremony at the Menin Gate which features all the names of the lost (no known graves). The buglers are from Ieper (Ypres) Fire Brigade who perform the Last Post every night and it is a very moving event.
