Prince Henry’s students who are members of Sea, Air, Army and Fire Cadets, together with students from the Girl Guides, Scouts and Brownies, took part in an act of commemoration today at 11am to remember those who gave their lives in the service of their country during conflicts including the First and Second World Wars.
Mr Cooper led the ceremony which was complemented by a recital of the poem ‘For the Fallen’ read by deputy head students Kiaragh Brown, Ellie Chester and Evie Watts. The standard bearer was Year 13 student Edward Cowper who also represented the British Legion at the funeral of Her Majesty the Queen, and will be participating in the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall this weekend. The parade was led by Lewis Anderson in year 13 who is going to be an Officer Cadet in the Royal Navy next year. Josh Hennessy in Year 12 performed the last post.
A two-minute silence was also observed by the whole school community.
