A remarkable and deeply moving photograph capturing the first two minutes of silence in London, 106 years ago on Tuesday 11th November 1919.
The first time a grieving nation held its collective breath.
Lest we forget.

He's got the looks, the charm, and the dangerous edge. He rocks a well-tailored suit like nobody's business, he's a Brit, and he's the same age Dalton was in TLD.
I know it's not to be, but they should give this man a licence to kill.

Chris Pappas respects and serves his community.
He’s not driven by a desire to accumulate power or benefits, validate his own ego or settle scores.
I genuinely hope and pray South Africa sees the rise of more leaders like him.
No party got the majority in the previous LGE either. We (Jhb) did however have not one, but TWO puppet mayors from Al Jama-ah, a 1% party. Proudly brought to us by a coalition focused more on power & positions than service delivery or respecting voter mandate.
There’s another way to look at these results and the argument that as the biggest party Helen is the legitimate heir to Joburg.
If the DA and Helen Zille get the projected 36% then that means 64% of the voters rejected her campaign to be Mayor. She may have the biggest caucus in the Council but she was not the preferred Mayor by the vast majority.
Oh heck! @WOOLWORTHS_SA are back at it again with their absolutely stunning 😍 tins. I don't even care what's inside. @TamiMagnin we are in trouble 😲
Another reason voter, and education of residents is so vital. People were quite happy to parrot, "but the lack of service delivery is 100% the fault of my ward concillour." They have no power to instruct service delivery depts to service THEIR ward.
I’m watching the #LGE2026 results. The commentator refers to a party’s win in a specific ward and says, “They now control ward X.” I’m struck by the use of language and think this is why politicians lose touch. Surely it would be better to say, “they now serve Ward X.”
