In recent years in Britain we have seen a return of the 2 minutes silence on this day, as well as that on Remembrance day.
Most if not all schools observe it too.

Attendance at Remembrance events and poppy sales increase year on year.
On Mudcat sadly, the trend is the other way.

We usually have a respectful thread with many contributions.
This year the antis have won completely, but remember they are but a small minority even though they appear to dominate, and intimidate decent folk into keeping silent.
