To think that using cameras and camera phones...

...at the rememberance service at the local Cenotaph is a bit, well, off .

The local Scouts, Air Cadets, St John Ambulance, etc. were parading so I can sort of see maybe taking a photo of your darling offspring before the parade set off but during the service. Really?

I'm not talking about the photographers covering it for the local press, but people using their cameras and camera phones during the wreath laying and the two minute silence.

Am I just a bit out of step here (I'm only in my late 30s) or does anyone else agree that it's just a bit wrong?

People no longer understand where to draw the line because everyone has a camera phone these days so they can whip it out at any moment and take a photo. For me, even having your phone switched on at an event like this is rude, but then I'm one of seemingly few who don't find it socially acceptable to put their mobiles next to their plates at dinner so that they can constantly check for messages. Grr.
