I have just come back from the ceremony in the centre of town. Boy's Brigade, cadets, guides all in uniform, all sombre. Soldiers holding flags, the mayor and various other dignitaries, all stood in solemn silence. What was really good to see, was the amount of people who happened to be in town shopping, all stopping and holding the silence. Young and old, different races. One old man was there in his traditional Pakistani garb complete with full beard.
Was very moving.
