    At 11 a.m. today it's the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

    Although the parades were held yesterday the real day is today. Everyone should pause, think and remember all those that fought for us in all the wars.

    Just stop and remain silent for two minutes at 11 a.m.

      I'm wearing my poppy with pride today, at work they will sound the fire alarm at 11am and generally most people observe the 2 minutes.

            I was going to turn GC off for 2 minutes, but I got scared in case I couldn't turn it back on.
