Calendargirl when my father died 45 years ago we had to pass a roadworks just before the crematorium. All the men took their caps off and stood with bowed heads. Like you I found it quite moving.
A few weeks ago we were walking along the beach when we noticed several people dressed in black standing along the road. It did not register at first why they were there but by the time we got to the road a hearse was moving slowly past. DH quickly removed his cap and we both stood there with bowed head. None of the mourners were clapping.
