“They shall grow not 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.”
Pupils and staff have marked this year’s Armistice Day and Remembrance at the annual Remembrance Service on Sunday 9 November.
Assemblies were held in both junior and senior schools, with a focus on the men and women – and their families – who kept us safe in the past and those who keep us safe today. As always, the 226 Colfeians who lost their lives in WWI and WWII were remembered in a special mention.
The Colfe’s Combined Cadet Force Squadron led the annual Remembrance Service on Remembrance Sunday at the Old Colfeian Rugby Club Horn Park ground. Alongside Headmaster Dan Gabriele, Captain Richard Roberts CO of Colfe’s CCF, Major Christopher Cherry and representatives from the Old Colfeian Rugby Club, the junior and senior school captains laid wreaths at the memorial, followed by a two-minute silence.
