ON a beautiful sunny morning, there was a very good attendance outside St Mary’s Church for Remembrance Day to observe the two minutes silence and watch the wreath laying. I was, however, dismayed at the number of people who could not manage for even half an hour without clutching the ubiquitous take-away coffee. Call me old fashioned, but to me it was unnecessary and out of place.
