PETER SYMONDS COLLEGE COMMEMORATES THE FALLEN WITH REMEMBRANCE EVENT
Peter Symonds College, Winchester held its annual Remembrance Day event at 11am on Wednesday 11 November with contributions from Principal, Sara Russell, Student Union President, Rifat Hoque and student musicians, followed by the observation of two minutes’ silence.
Trumpeters Annabelle Grant-Jones and Cordelia Holden were supported for the event by Julian Poore, the College’s Head of Brass, in rehearsing to perform The Last Post and Reveille. Representatives from the College’s Student Union, Enrichment and Boarding teams also attended, alongside staff and students.
Principal, Sara Russell, said: “It is always deeply meaningful to see the College community come together in a shared moment of reflection, remembering those in the armed forces and civilians who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country. As we look around the world and recognise the challenges and conflicts that continue to affect so many lives, we are reminded of the enduring value of compassion, solidarity and peace. We honour those we have lost and reaffirm the importance of remembering their courage and sacrifice."
