All is not lost with the Poppy days and Remembrance Sunday parades.

November 11 is always about the Armistice ending hostilities at 11am on that day,

November, 1918 (and Sundays including WWII and other wars).

It soon became the custom for British people to stop for two minutes on the anniversary, not only to remember those who were killed and injured, but also to remember that the war was over.

We can still do that, stop what we are doing, wherever we are, for two minutes; the Cenotaph, the Unknown Soldier, the war memorials, the parades, the poems, the prayers, are all extras for better times.
