Pupils, parents, staff, OQs, governors and friends of Queenswood came together in the Chapel on Sunday 12 November for a deeply moving Remembrance Day service.

Students from across the year groups read poems, prayers and passages of scripture, and the Quire gave a hauntingly memorable performance of ‘Benedictus’ from Karl Jenkins The Armed Man.

Four wreaths were laid at the altar, bearing the following inscriptions:

---

There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Presented on behalf of former members of the Armed Forces now serving in civilian roles.

---

There is in that rich earth a richer dust concealed.
Presented on behalf of serving members of the Armed Forces.

---

Your legacy is our liberty.
Presented on behalf of Queenswood students, past and present, in grateful thanks.

---

In memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Presented on behalf of the Trustees of Queenswood School.
