mandragorafor whom the bell tolls.
I was attending court at Middlesex Guildhall this Remembrance Day. Middlesex Guildhall is in Parliament Square, opposite the Houses of Parliament. An announcement came over the court intercom that at 11am the court would observe 2 minutes silence in memory of those who died fighting in the wars of the past.
At 11am as everything fell silent in the court all that could be heard was Big Ben across the square chiming out the hour. A shiver crawled down my spine.
In Parliament Square itself, and particularly in Westminster Abbey, there was a sea of red poppies. At lunchtime as people hustled and bustled hither and yon many stopped to look and think for a moment in silence, even amongst the roar of the traffic.
