A two minutes silence is being coducted across the whole of the UK tomorrow in respect for the London Bombing Victims.
At 12 noon, people across the country, including shops and stores are going to stop what they are doing and pay their respects.
Many bus companies in cities are also going to be stopping on their routes too.
I’ll be training a class at the time and I am definately going to stop training for the period.
Historical note: The UK did something similar in respect for the 9/11 victims.

We’ll be having one at work to. We had one in January for the tsunami victims to. I think it’s a good thing. Makes people think about the people for 2 mins.

@Rox-Kuryliw - Not really fair news coverage regarding the train crash. If that was in the “western world” it’ll be big news
EDIT: WRONG COMMENT - SEE BELOW!

@ Pwbbounce:
But it is!
It’s headline news on the BBC website at the moment:

Plus, it’s headlining on most of the UK News channels at present.
Edit:
Also, it’s headline news on America’s CNN website.
And on Sky News (European Sat broadcaster)
