One minute silence.

Not everyone seemed aware of the silence. There were roofers and gardeners working - and a chap revving his car engine too.

All 100 are there - their photos, their names, their stories. Let’s show them the respect they deserve.

Let’s not get sidetracked - it’s important to focus on the people we were remembering

In our little Labour run area----goes without saying doesn't it ? Where ignorance is bliss-----

Let’s focus on the people we were remembering today.

Along with the grass-cutters who carried on through the minute silence !

At least he was able to return to work - unlike the 100 NHS and care sectors workers we remembered today.

It takes bloomin' weeks before you feel anything like human after that virus. I think Boris has returned too soon.

Yes I did - our team observed it as did many others in our Board. I looked through the photos of each one individually to pay them my respects. Just heartbreaking.

Is it Tuesday today? Oops.

We had a few minutes of silence for all workers killed or injured on the job. We recognize it every year on this date.

This year it was special in that after the silence, all the machinery in our port sounded their horns in salute; which was very touching.

25Avalon, do you really not understand that 'those who have given their lives' were put in an impossible dilemma? They felt duty bound to continue their work without adequate PPE.

Do you never question the facts? In normal times, it's unusual, yet possible, to be monitored in ICU with just oxygen mask treatment.

In these pandemic times, only those requiring ventilation are likely to be there - oh, and the exception that proves the rule, out PM, with oxygen mask, in his little side room!

Yes - very moving.

I didn’t know it was happening until I happened to see the lunchtime news.

I observed it in silene - and tears.

We observed - the very least we could do.

However, without being political, it is an absolute disgrace that not enough PPE was (and in some cases still is not) available for front line staff. Just disgusting.

I didn't know about it and was online teaching anyway.

I would have made my students do it with me if I'd known.

“ Better love can no man show than to give their life for another” it says in the Bible.

Hetty 58 please stop trying to score points. Boris owes his life to our wonderful NHS and it is only right he should pay his respects to those who have given their lives.

Spot on Larsonsmum! I observed the silence - with great respect to those who lost their lives.

I silently seethed as Boris appeared on TV (in a strangely stilled shot) and thought of the gross hypocrisy of 'paying respects' to those he so very badly let down!

Yes I did

I found it very emotional. I found it strange to note that the BBC froze the picture of Boris and others. Did they think he would not keep still?

Yes, just did. The loss of life in these sectors has been CRIMINAL in many cases, when due to absence of PPE.

Selfless. ?

Such dedicated professionals who have tragically lost their lives and they would most probably say they were “just doing their job”s.
