Library Image: November 2012Captain Michael Rose, 27, from Basingstoke (left) , and Staff Sergeant Neal Beer, 37, from Maidstone monitor the timing accuracy behind the clockface of Big Ben on Remembrance Day in 2012.SECRETS OF THE SILENCE REVEALEDAs London stands silent on Sunday at the eleventh hour at the Ceremony of Remembrance at the Cenotaph; silent in respect and remembrance for all those who have given their lives in service of their country, two men are shouting as loud as they can.Every year, the two minute’s silence for the Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph is conducted with military precision. On Horse Guards Parade the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery fire their WW1 guns to mark the start of the silence, and on Whitehall a Corps of Army Music Bugler from the Household Division Band will mark its end at precisely the same time that the guns fire again 120 seconds later. How they know when to do so has to date been a mystery. Neither can see the Big Ben Clock from where they stand, and to react to the first strike of the Big Ben Bell as it chimes the 11th hour would be a moment too late.
