Will you be taking part in the one minute silence at noon?

Ironically I'll be at a funeral but will you be taking part ?

I knew about it and decided not to participate. Didn't participate in the clapping nonsence.

No. Didn’t do the “heroes” clapping either. It’s a token gesture from a hypocritical PM.

Why today? Isn't it the anniversary of lockdown? What's that got to do with the people who have died with covid? Wouldn't the anniversary of the first UK covid death have been more appropriate?

@en0la

Reading out the names is touching for those involved but are they more worthy people then those who died from other causes ?

On Remembrance Sunday, the names of the fallen are read out. They are the servicemen and women who were killed because of war. They don't read out the names of people who died from other causes.

@joystir59 - beautifully put.
