With the country on lockdown, The Daily Mirror’s campaign urged Brits to take to their doorsteps for two minutes in a bid to honour those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom

Brits have paid their respects this Remembrance Sunday from their doorsteps as the nation honours our fallen amid the nation’s second lockdown.

The lockdown meant the wreath laying ceremony at London’s Cenotaph was closed to the public for the first time in 100 years.

With events and parades cancelled across the country, The Daily Mirror’s campaign urged Brits to take to their doorsteps for two minutes in a bid to honour those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

The  Royal British Legion backed the campaign, with Director General Charles Byrne saying: “This year we are unable to stand side by side as we usually do in honour of those who have served on our behalf, but we can all still play a part in ensuring the unique contributions of our Armed Forces are not forgotten.

“We are joining the Daily Mirror’s call for people to come together on Remembrance Sunday in a new way and to stand in silence at the front door or window of their home in a fitting tribute to those who have given so much.”
