MODERN Sundays are much like any other day of the week, filled by work, shopping and socialising.
But for two minutes every Remembrance Sunday, stillness returns. At 11am the nation falls silent as we think of those who have paid with their lives for our freedom and security.
Some will have attended one of the services throughout North Yorkshire. Many others will have been in a supermarket when the eleventh hour arrived. Yet at that soundless moment, we were united in what remains a truly moving tribute to the fallen.
