Some cynical people claim it was purely invented at soccer games where fans couldn't be trusted to remain silent, but I think its a fitting and uplifting way to celebrate a life. That said, if Leon's mum and dad wanted silence then of course its their call.
Does anyone else thing appluase has its place in this context?
I'd say applause is only fitting when paying tribute to someone who passed at a grand old age having being able to live their life to the full.
Silent remembrance under these tragic circumstances is more appropriate imo
