So next Remembrance Day, when the two minutes roll around, don’t stress. Embrace the weirdness. Stand still. Let your nose itch. Let your mind wander to the past and to the people who never got to fidget. And when it’s over, have a really good cup of tea. You’ve earned it. And so did they.
Because silence, my friend, isn’t just the absence of noise. It’s the loudest thank you we can ever say.
