The sombre echoes of remembrance filled the halls of Prep. School on Tuesday as we commemorated the sacrifices of past pupils in a moving ceremony. Led by chorister Matthew’s soulful rendition, the service commenced with a poignant tone that reverberated through the hearts of attendees.
Every chorister participated earnestly, lending their voices to honour the memory of the fallen. The names of the departed Old Roffensians were solemnly recited, invoking reflection on their contributions and sacrifices.
A poignant moment unfolded as current pupils paid their respects, laying poppies in the serene embrace of Lady’s Chapel, symbolising gratitude and remembrance for those who had given their all.
The atmosphere was one of solemnity and reverence, marking a beautiful tribute to those who had once walked the halls and left an indelible mark on the School’s history.
