All over the country today people stopped and stood in silence for two minutes at eleven o'clock to mark the anniversary of Armistice Day. Lost in their own thoughts and prayers as a mark of respect for those who gave their lives for our country, many places came to a standstill. Pictures on the TV news programmes have shown scenes from up and down the land and here is another one which differs slightly from those seen on the box. In Ilkeston it rained - in fact it absolutely chucked it down at 11 o'clock hence the spots on the camera lens despite my best efforts to keep it clear. Ten miutes later the sun was shining from a clearing sky!
