One Year On.
A year on, eh? Can't believe it's gone so fast... Like many people on my flist I'm going to link to tyrell's list of quotes from the day - I think three of my own are in there, in fact - and just say well done, England. Well done, London. We coped spectacularly on that day and really made me proud to be among you. The total absence of hysteria, the strength and dry humour we displayed as a nation is a real inspiration; I don't often feel this way, but it was an honour to be British (for all my varied heritage, and my insistence that I am English, rather than British, that day - and in the weeks that followed - I did feel part of a greater whole).
We held a two-minutes silence outside our building, at noon - the whole street and St. John Square was packed with people just standing; remembering. There was a little feel of unity, again - an echo of the blitz spirit people talked of at the time.
So, here's to Britain and all its brave, stoic and hardy residents - both those who survived, and those who died: cheers!
