English translation:to honour with one minute of silence

Explanation:
Despite 4 colleagues agreeing with "Observe a minute's silence", I would point out that this formulate does not translate the word "pagerbti". I think it would be more precise to use "to honour with one minute of silence", a formula I have heard dozens of times in my 60 years living in English-speaking countries.
