Remembering Rememberance Day
So, this year at the 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month, we were on a Sydney Transit bus. At 10:58am an announcement came over the bus radio from the operations base instructing drivers to pull over at the very next bus stop, switch off their engines and observe a 1 minute silence for Rememberance Day. Our driver complied, allowing us to also hear a broadcast of a bugler playing the Last Post. With the exception of a couple of Asian tourists, who couldn't be blamed really for being unaware of what was happening, everyone was duly respectful of this moment and what it represents. Just stunning. We were moved to tears!
