Two of my kids were present for the wreath laying ceremony as airforce cadets, both found how difficult it is to stand still for a length of time, they had to stand down before they fell down.
Over the years Remberance Day seems to have dwindled, while ANZAC day grows ever bigger and I believe that it is the focus for most Aussies.
Twenty plus years ago any workplace I was in would shut down for 11.00, and the week before hand Poppy Sellers were allowed on site. In my experience this is now quite rare.
Just checked with the young generation trying to push me off the computer, they are not aware of the significance of the Poppy......Well I can rectify that much.
