Basalt Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I have just watched this and have to say I am humbled by what I've seen. So dignified, so professional. The 2 youngsters singing was particularly moving. Spent most of the programme wiping tears away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soft ayperth Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Just a question that's puzzled me ever since I moved to Canada many years ago. Why is it that in a country like Canada, also the US I believe, which did not actually incur the civilian losses that Britain did in WW2, Remembrance day is regarded as sufficiently inportant for there to be a national holiday, whereas in the UK only token recognition is given by comparison? The 11th of November is always a statutory holiday here. If it does fall on a weekend, the following Monday is a holiday, i.e. long weekend. No shops or theaters are open, very few restaurants, and the war memorial ceremonies are well attended across the country. I am given to understand that no holiday as such occurs in Britain, just a service on the nearest Sunday. Has the UK become blase about the loss of life in WW2, taking it for granted? Or, do people just want to forget about it? I was listening to a SW football game today (yes, that was not a good experience) when the commentator asked "Why is there a one minute silence?" Duh.

The 2 youngsters singing was particularly moving. Spent most of the programme wiping tears away. I only saw a bit of it but the children (if they're the ones I think you're talking about) were a tad painful to listen to at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
