Lest We Forget

Thanks and congratulations to everyone involved in Friday's Children's Remembrance Service. Special thanks to the Button Family and the Royal British Legion. Thanks also to the parent volunteers who accompanied our journey between school and St. Bartholomew's Church.

218 children performed as part of the Downs Junior School Mass Choir, (Mega Choir and Super Choir). Well done also to the Year 6 standard bearers. It was a fitting, poignant and beautiful tribute to the fallen soldiers of WWI.

​For more photos and video clips from the service, keep your eye on the Remembrance Service page.
