I think that it was most inappropriate tonight that there was no 2 minutes silence for rememberance day.

Usually have a silence for it on the saturday after but today is the friday so even more important.

This is probably to stop upsetting someone in some stupid PC thing.

The 2 minute silence took place today on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.  That's when it always takes place.  If you had 2 minute silences here there and everywhere at different times it would be devalued.

I've no idea why they didn't do it, most likely it's because a two minute silence was held at 11am the same day.  If it was on a different day I expect they would have had it.
