Tomorrow at 11am we urge all Oxford Mail readers to be silent and remember.
The arguments for and against Britain’s involvement in global conflicts are beside the point.
The two-minute silence serves as a reminder about the brutality and lives it squanders.
Whatever you think about war – for or against – you should still wear a poppy.
There is an argument to say it is not a militaristic symbol. It is instead a sign of reflection.
It is about pondering the bravery and sacrifice of those who don’t make political decisions and merely serve their country.
A small gesture it may be, but we hope you will all join with us in the short act of remembrance.
