 Not sure exactly when this change has crept in, but it should ideally be
 reverted as uppercase use of AM and PM isn't considered correct.

 https://capitalizemytitle.com/ufaqs/are-am-and-pm-capitalized/
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_in_the_United_Kingdom

 All of the sources above state that lowercase use of am and pm should be
 used.
