National Minute's Silence.

[B00]

There's to be a national minute's silence at 11am this morning to remember the victims and family of Manchester's attack.

Can I ask/request that as many of us as possible participate?

I found out last night that my husband's cousins wife and 12 year old daughter were there that night and are still in hospital, though thankfully it's nothing life threatening.

[Ruffec]

Certainly but should not need to ask

[naomi24]

I didn't know about this. Thanks B00.

[Kromovaracun]

I will be sitting in a library at 11am, so a minute's silence is a bit redundant for me. I will, however, keep an eye on my watch and when 11am comes I will be thinking about your family, B00. I hope they're out of hospital and back with their loved ones as soon as possible.

[B00]

Thanks Krom x

we aren't particular close to his cousin, but it was still a shock nonetheless, and we obviously wish they and others injured are home soon too.

[naomi24]

I confess I cried with the mother pleading on television the other day for news of her young daughter. How awful! All those young lives. Simply unimaginable!

[B00]

I cried on and off that day too Naomi- I cried along with Suzanna and Piers when they spoke to Olivia's mother on TV, then mortifying I shared a cry with an old lady at work (customer) who was equally devastated.

[naomi24]

I didn't see Suzanna and Piers, but it was Olivia's mum. She was on the news. Words are simply inadequate. Heart-breaking. :o(

I dont mind admitting I shed a tear too, I find it very upsetting to watch.

Hope all goes well Boo.

[Bigbad]

Glad I came on AB and saw this. Thank you Boo.

Not usually given to feeling emotional about strangers, but I also shed a tear when I found out Olivia had died.

[ummmm]

I'm on holiday and the minutes silence was recognised here. Hope your relatives well be okay. Such a traumatic event to feel with.

[ummmm]

Sorry. On tablet, auto correct.

[-Talbot-]

I observed it ... shame not all ABers did.

[Berniecuddles2]

who?

[hereIam]

I observed it BOO.

[emmie]

i was watching the wright show, but they downed tools so to speak for a minutes silence.

[jourdain2]

We observed it, of course. What sort of person wouldn't? Glad for you, Boo.

[pastafreak]

We observed it at work. A roomful of homeless guys...
Wishing a quick recovery to all who are in hospital.

[Islay]

I don't understand why anyone would think less of those that did not take part, if you did not manage to take part it does not make you any less of a person or any less sad about what has happened!

[Eleena]

Hi Boo, yes here too on a bus with others x
