round the white stone monument were Princes and Ministers; young soldiers, seamen, and alrmen; and veterans who know in those black years the daily fear of death.

In Whitehall, as in most centres outside the City, the crowds were larger than usual because the an- niversary fell on a Sunday. Yet when the sound of Big Ben striking

TO THE FALLEN

Thousands of ex-Service men and women who packed into Albert Hall at night stood and cheered the Prince of Wales, who himself BRW active service in France and Flanders. Many, of the audience were in tears as the Princo recited Laurence Binyon's poem, "To the Fallen."

As the years pass, the reverence, If possible, increases. This year there was not one case of a person refusing reverence during the Silence and all stood at attention. No man had to be reprimanded for refusing to remove his hat.
