Held every year in honour of the former pupils who gave their lives in defence of the country, the service was well attended by all year 7 and upward pupils, parents, grandparents and staff.
Head girl and boy Olivia and Albert read the Roll of Honour in front of the memorial plaques in the College quad, followed by Taqwa reading from Ecclesiasticus, Chapter 44 v1-14
The Service was officiated by Rev George Butterworth and wreaths were laid at the College memorial by Mrs Bakhtiari on behalf of the College; David Abbott for the Old Shorehamers’ Association on behalf of the ex-pupils, and the Chair of the Parent’s Association Mrs Charlotte Coe on behalf of the parents.
The last post was beautifully played by Mr Ellis Devitt.
Principal, Mrs Bakhtiari spoke of the service: “Each year this moment of remembrance draws us together as a community, to honour the courage of those who came before us, and to remind our pupils of the enduring importance of empathy, integrity and peace.”
