HOW I agree with Michael Clarke (ViewPoints, September 11) that those of us who meet at ‘The Final Turn’ for our poor soldiers being repatriated from Afghanistan respect them by standing silently with bowed heads as they pass by.
I have been attending for three years and have never heard any clapping and I sincerely hope it doesn’t happen. If it does, I for one, and others I’ve spoken to, will stand elsewhere to honour and respect these men and women with dignity.
