AT 11am on Friday, to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice from the First World War to today, St Brigid's School, in Denbigh, held its annual Remembrance service.

The whole school formed up in impeccable silence, all wearing the poppy in remembrance.

The primary school pupils had been learning about the First World War and remembrance all week, and they were a great credit during the service.

A lot of the young people were wearing their youth organisation uniform.

There were, of course, cadets from the school’s combined Cadet Force, but also cadets from the local Air Training Corps and Sea Cadet Corps, and the Brownies and Girl Guides. The service was led by the deputy head Dr Humberstone, supported by the CCF Contingent Commander Lieutenant Colonel Wood.

The two-minute silence was observed with perfect reverence by the whole school and it was made more poignant with leaves blowing across the playground, from the nearby trees. The silence was punctuated by the immaculate cornet playing of Cadet Lance Corporal Elsie Smith (Year 10), for the Last Post and Reveille.

The exhortation and Kohima Epitaph, those well remembered words of all Remembrance parades, were read by senior Army Section cadet, Cadet Sergeant James Hone.

The two sections of the CCF were fronted by the senior cadets.

For the RAF section, Cadet Flight Sergeant Philip Wood was resplendent in his Lord Lieutenant of Clywd’s Cadet uniform, and for the Army section, Cadet Sergeant Scott Williams.
