King’s Cross remembrance garden
I saw the remembrance garden at King’s Cross today for the first time. Whereas the events of last Thursday were shocking, this is something I found very sad.
The two minute silence today was rather surreal in the way it happened. In the street outside my office everyone seemed to know the moment to be quiet, and then everyone returned to what they were doing again at the same moment. Even the cars slowed and stopped, then started again two minutes later. Yet there was no signal to be heard or sign to be seen. I think the secret was that the car drivers were listening to their radios which told them when it started and ended, and we pedestrians took our lead from them. But certainly that wasn’t conscious or obvious.
