It was special to be in London on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th year, 100 years on from the end of the First World War. Remembrance Sunday is observed as the second Sunday in November and this year, the 100th anniversary of the end of world war 1, fell on remembrance Sunday.
We had a train to catch at lunchtime and couldn’t venture far so decided to walk across Westminster bridge towards Parliament as the taxi driver we had the day before was telling us about the Remembrance Day parade so we though we might get a glimpse. The bridge was lined with taxis two deep all the way across. They are poppy taxis that pick up all the serviceman and take them to the cenotaph free of charge and then take them back. There are hundreds of them, old and new.
We couldn’t get much further than the end of the bridge as the crowds going to the epitaph were huge and we didn’t want to take the chance of not being able to get back so we wandered back to the river and watched as a flotilla of boats started to emerge. I hadn’t bought my camera so the photos attached are only off my cell phone.

As Big Ben tolled out the 11th hour the city stopped and silence fell. For two minutes you could hear the current run under the bridge and the birds in the trees nearby. The last post cut through the silence and raised the goosebumps on your skin as you couldn’t help but feel, and remember. Poppies floated down from the flotilla on the river and a woman onboard led the ode of the fallen soldier.
At 12.30pm, led by Big Ben, all the church bells in England were rung simultaneously. They call Remembrance Day the nations thank you. It felt privileged to be in London on this 11th day of November and bear witness to this tribute. Lest we forget.
