We were walking from Broadgate to the High Street when we heard the bell sounding at 11am. Most people stopped what they were doing and stood silently observing the Armistice. People stood and watched the Godiva clock leap into action, with Lady Godiva riding past on her horse and Peeping Tom leering at her from above.

In the distance we could hear the Cathedral bells and then a bugle call. Shortly afterwards everyone started moving again, almost simultaneously. It was a very odd and sobering experience.
