You probably know this but just a reminder to go onto the streets at midday today.
Britain will come to a standstill as a mark of respect for the victims of the London terror attacks.
One week on from the atrocities which claimed 52 lives, Londoners are being urged to mark two minutes' silence at 12 noon.
Trains, planes, buses, black cabs and even the London Stock Exchange will be briefly halted as office workers flood into the streets in a show of solidarity.
Many high street stores and supermarkets will observe the silence, while in the capital's shopping hub at Oxford Street, Regent Street and Carnaby Street, retailers will stop for two minutes. Traders in China Town, Brick Lane and Soho will also observe the silence.
The whole of the European Union will also observe two minutes' silence at noon, EU ministers announced. And the leaders of the major faiths have joined forces to urge people across the country to gather and pay their respects.
A series of events will take place throughout the day with books of condolence opening across the capital at 1pm and a vigil in Trafalgar Square at 6pm.
Close to the scene of the Aldgate bomb lies St Botolph parish church which will hold a brief Act of Remembrance at midday. The Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, will lead the midday quiet in the Westminster Cathedral piazza, alongside the Lord Mayor of Westminster.
Lloyd's of London said it would ring its Lutine bell in remembrance, as it did after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001.
Network Rail said that it was planned that no trains would depart from mainline London stations during the two minutes, while a London Underground spokeswoman said: "As many staff as possible will observe the silence with our customers. Trains will continue to run, but there will be announcements about the silence on the trains."
