A good turnout at Northampton's memorial behind All Saint's Church (and under my office window) yesterday. Couple of hundred people perhaps.
Last post sounded to start the two minutes with the Legion's flag lowered in time. Two minutes later reveille and the standard bearer raised it again. Buses and everything stopped. Only a couple of people moved.
Notices on the counter and in waiting room explained to clients that staff and volunteers would be observing the silence. No dissent that I was aware of.
