On Sunday, 11th November I was on my feet addressing a group of over 100 people at a conference. As the eleventh hour approached, I suspended usual business and spoke a few words of remembrance "lest we forget". We then had a moment of silence and reflection.

I was somewhat (pleasantly) taken aback by the number of people who came up to me and thanked me for doing it (and many subsequent emails). To me it was a natural thing to do (I wear my poppy with pride). One participant told me that was feeling very uncomfortable about participating in the conference at this notable time and was "indebted" to me for appropriately marking the occasion.

Sorry... it needs no words, but sometimes, without words, people forget.
