I will be taking part in this in respect of those in the Great War (having also just visited Ypres in relation to this)
Thought I would post as there does not seem to have been much said about it anywhere in the press

LIGHTS OUT
The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.
Sir Edward Grey, Foreign Secretary, uttered these words on the eve of Britain officially entered the First World War. Exactly 100 years later we are inviting millions of individuals, households and companies to join together in a national moment of reflection.
We're encouraging everyone in the UK(I however think this should be extended to all) to turn off their lights between 10pm and 11pm on 4 August 2014 – leaving only a single light or candle for this symbolic act of reflection and hope.
