Imperial War Museum North, Trafford, Manchester
It was Armistice Day today
I was attending Imperial war museum north, in preparation for their Volunteer Celebration Choir with the Museum of Science and Industry and The Manchester Museum
But for Two minutes today – we stood in silence to remember those who fought and were lost in two world wars.
We then watched the film , Remembrance, which gave some poignant reminders of why the date is kept, to honour all those fallen in conflict.
The day before, I’d been at my spot in the museum – helping relatives of first world war soldiers remember their relations and share their stories with the nation on the Lives of the First World War Database

Rememberance and gratitude to all those who gave for our freedom.. it is such a powerful thing we did it at work and i felt a surge of peace and of course sorrow for the loss.
