We did a minutes silence just before kick off I must admit I think it's very emotional the way you can literally hear a pin drop in the usual rowdy stadium. It was very well received I thought. Everyone stood still.
I user to work at the Stadium, so have been around for many silences, and to be honest it is eerie when the ground falls silent 40k+ people in, bit they are always very well observed. The weirdest silence I ever was involved in at the Stadium was a 2 minute Silence in 2001 for 9/11, not a single noise whatsoever.
As for Rememberance, I was at Murton Cenotaph, I go nearly every year to pay my respects, I have an ancestor on there who fell at Gallipoli in 1915, so go to honour him
