Thanks Joy for the Pages of the Sea , I hadn`t heard about that ……...we are ringing our church bells at 11 on the 11th and that will wake up the town if they hadn`t known before that this is a most solemn moment .I did wonder about the railway stations ……..ours is a listed building and for sure pretty much exactly as it was and where the boys would have left from to join their regiments to go to war ….each and everyone of them would have used the station ..     too late now to have possibly good ideas !!!!!!

Where I used to work (in Somerset) our company still had an air-raid siren. So it used to be sounded for the two-minute silence. The company was on the outskirts of the town, but you couldn't help hearing it right in the town centre, and it was quite eerie to see folk standing stock-still in the middle of the pavement.
