Yesterday, (Armistice Day) about forty f us met up just before eleven in the morning at a point in ur High Street, where we culd display many White Poppies fpr Peace), als with large laminated sheets explaining the meaning of the White Poppy - as well as erms like armistice, cease-fire, etc.(a commemmoration of ALL who suffer and die in wars). We made a semi circle standing in total silence for half an hour . The ages ranged from children to me 82) sitting on my scooter, and diverse ethnicity.
Peple did come t have a look, and read. Just one person troied to incite a reaction by language right up in the face o f one of us( a service user I think, and his carer did come to take him away eventually), he got no reaction. We all remained silent.
I fund it all very moving and effective Each time I closed my eyes there, all I could see was thse dreadful pictures of Gaze and its bombed buildings, and hear the cries of the children.
