On Sunday 8th November a group of young people from English Martyrs School helped to set up and deliver a remembrance service at St Cuthberts Church. A selection of poems and letters were read out to the congregation in the packed church by some students whilst others performed in the school orchestra who provided the music during the service.

This was the first event of it's type led by the young people in St Cuthbert's and was seen as a great success by all who attended. Tomorrow, English Martyrs School will stop and observe a 2 minutes silence at 11am as well as each individual class taking part in their own Remembrance Service during registration.

"They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
