    tweets: It was profoundly moving to stand with so many at the Cenotaph today - remembering those who sacrificed so much so we that could be free.

  3. Get involved

    Caroline Hopkins: All we did at our office was to honour the 2 minute silence. It was really lovely that all the telephones fell silent also, builders stopped working outside, everyone was remembering in their own way. Poignant in itself, in a busy studio where we receive a lot of calls. It is great to know that everyone stopped, nothing was too important to not honour this moment.

    Nigel Watson took this photo and wrote this poem:

    Fields of gold blooms of red

    They all grow there to mark the dead

    They lived they came they fought they died

    Each of them on all sides

    Birds now sing their songs today

    I hope they never fly away

    I will remember them So should you

    All who died in wars one and two.
