🌺 We Will Remember Them 🌺
What a special and moving morning as our school family and the wonderful Hoddlesden community came together at our village War Memorial to pay our respects and remember those who gave their lives for our freedom. ❤️
It was lovely to see so many families, friends and local residents standing alongside our children, united in remembrance, reflection and respect.
A heartfelt thank you to Rev Ben, and to our fantastic Head Boy and Head Girl, who helped lead our service with such confidence, dignity and respect. We are incredibly proud of you both! 🌟
Thank you also to all our children for their beautiful singing, thoughtful reflection and respectful behaviour. You represented our school wonderfully and reminded us all of the importance of keeping remembrance alive for future generations.
And finally, a huge thank you to everyone from our village community who joined us. There is something truly special about coming together across generations, sharing a moment of reflection and remembering the sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy today.
A little village with a big heart. ❤️
🌺 At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
Lest We Forget.🌺 …
