It has just been brought to my attention that there is to be a minute's silence at 11am today to honour all front line workers who have died during this pandemic.
I don't know how it escaped my notice, but will be please to take part. Anyone else going to observe it?

Yes I did - our team observed it as did many others in our Board. I looked through the photos of each one individually to pay them my respects. Just heartbreaking.

It takes bloomin' weeks before you feel anything like human after that virus. I think Boris has returned too soon.

At least he was able to return to work - unlike the 100 NHS and care sectors workers we remembered today.

Along with the grass-cutters who carried on through the minute silence !

In our little Labour run area----goes without saying doesn't it ? Where ignorance is bliss-----

Let’s not get sidetracked - it’s important to focus on the people we were remembering

All 100 are there - their photos, their names, their stories. Let’s show them the respect they deserve.

Not everyone seemed aware of the silence. There were roofers and gardeners working - and a chap revving his car engine too.
