This is an audio recording I made on the 11th of November 2010, in Coventry city centre. This day was armistice day, marking the anniversary of the end of the First World War.
I was interested in listening to the sound of silence, which of course with a large crowd in a shopping centre is far from silent. I also wanted to draw attention to the atmospheric significance of this event, of the reason that we hold this silence, and why it is important that we do it together. The period of silence is book-ended by the Last Post.
