Default Will you light a candle and leave it on your doorstep tonight?

To commemorate 1 year since we had our first lockdown/Covid pandemic?

and observe a minute’s silence?



On Tuesday 23 March there will be a minute’s silence at 12pm to remember
everyone who has died during the pandemic.

People will then be encouraged to light candles from 8pm and leave them on
their doorsteps.

Community-led activities, such as virtual choirs and services will also take
place.

Marie Curie said: “Behind the statistics and whatever the cause, every death
has been devastating for the people left behind.

“There are still tough times ahead, as the death toll continues to rise. This
annual day will give us all time to pause and think about this unprecedented
loss we’re facing, and support each other through grief in the years to come.”

Not on the doorstep, but I will put one on in the bay window.

I've lit a candle every day in the window from the first death to this vile virus right to the present time.
So yes, although not outside the door.

I don't as a rule of thumb do passive social symbolism of any kind.
