Two Year 6 pupils from St Charles' Catholic Primary School in Spennymoor proudly represented their school community at the Spennymoor Town Remembrance Sunday Service.
The pupils joined members of the council, serving and former members of the Armed Forces, and representatives from organisations across the town as they took part in the procession to the war memorial. The service provided an opportunity for the community to come together in remembrance of those who have served and sacrificed for their country.
As part of the ceremony, the pupils had the honour of laying a wreath on behalf of St Charles' Catholic Primary School. They also read a poem during the service, helping to commemorate the courage, service and sacrifice of those remembered on Remembrance Sunday.
The occasion was a moving and important experience for the children, who represented the school with great respect, dignity and pride throughout the event. Their maturity and reverence reflected the values of the school and demonstrated the important role young people can play in community remembrance.
St Charles' Catholic Primary School is incredibly proud of both pupils for the way they conducted themselves and for the thoughtful contribution they made to this significant community event.
Lest We Forget.
