I was at a school today at 11.00. Some muffled sniggering during the silence from some people who were loudly reprimanded immediately afterwards by other pupils. I thought that was good.
Strangely, I CAN remember observing a silence during the school day. I can't think what this would have been if it wasn't Armistice Day. My vague memory is that this was one minute, not two though. I cannot explain why one comprehensive school in Wrexham in the 1980s would have uniquely observed the Armistice Day silence, except perhaps that my school was very much into History as a subject. Many of the senior teachers (heads and deputy heads) were history teachers and we even had our own unique GCSE syllabus and exams, so maybe that's it.
