either Fitzpatrick's or the King's motivation. How to observe the silence The Royal British Legion recommends this order of observance: At 11:00 am, the Last Post is played. The exhortation is then read (see below). The Two Minute Silence then begins. The end of the silence is signalled by playing The Rouse. The exhortation (excerpt from Ode of Remembrance): "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them. "Response: "We will remember them." This order of proceedings is not followed in the UK National Service of Remembrance in London, but is often used in regional ceremonies and in other Commonwealth countries.
