Prior to the minutes silence, at 11:45am there will be a short service led by local clergy. There are to be events held in each town of the borough, led by the current Mayor, and past Mayors.

Locations are as follows:

Cleator Moor War Memorial
Egremont War Memorial
Frizington War Memorial
Gosforth village car park
Millom War Memorial
Seascale beach car park
Whitehaven St Nicholas Gardens

I will be silent in Yorkshire.....

It's the least that we can do.. some will be silent much longer.

We are going to St Nicholas Church on Wednesday

I'm nightshift on Tuesday, but will be making a attempt to attend on Wednesday. Not sure about Whitehaven yet as it will be crawling with press. I'll maybe pop into Egremont instead.

To be honest they will have people at as many of these as possible so it may not be easy to keep away from the press.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the minute silence. It was observed all ove the country - in schools, in work, on TV, on Radio and even in the Houses of Parilament.

Also - thanks to everyone for promoting the event.

I went out for a drive and stopped at 11.50 when 5Live crossed to broadcast events from St Nick's ... then several minutes quiet reflection till after the silence I found the car horns very moving.

There was quite a good attendance at St Nicholas gardens, and I believe the BBC news channel showed scenes at Millom,Seascale and Egremont.

We went down to St Nicholas gardens and i thought it was very moving and the amount of people that were there said it all

I have to say that regardless of what you locals think of all the press intrusion now...they have certainly portrayed Cumbrian people as strong hearted, caring & very brave with a deep sense of community spirit which reinforces what I as a "Yorkie", already knew.....

Thanks Helen.

Attended St Nicholas gardens three very good speeches, especially the one by Geoge Clements. Very moving but intrusion by tv again.

Will they leave now?

Whilst I agree with you about too much press intrusion, I have to say that I was grateful for the TV coverage of the service.

Being "chained" to our desks in Carlisle Castle, we, the staff of Cumbria Library Service HQ, were able to "partake" in the service and the silence with you all, via the internet and the BBC news channel.
