At 11am on 11 November, the school fell silent as pupils and staff joined the country in remembering all those who have given their lives in conflict, including the Old King’s Scholars who are remembered on the school’s war memorial.
The exhortation was read by Adaora Ekwueme (U6GLA) before Jake Bywater (L6GRO) played the Last Post and the 2-minute silence was observed.
The two minute silence ended with the playing of Reveille when Head of School, Jonni Ashton (U6DUT), recited the Kohima Epitaph.
Two senior CCF cadets, Nathan Baggott (U6FOX) and Alvern Qian (U6 FOX) led the wreaths to be laid at the war memorial.
The wreath-laying party comprised pupils from across the school who have family connection with the armed forces.
