St Benedict's - a proud Tradition Of Remembrance

St Benedict’s Combined Cadet Force (CCF) played a prominent role in this year’s Remembrance commemorations, with cadets demonstrating pride, respect and commitment as they joined the wider community in honouring those who have served and sacrificed for our country.
On Sunday 8 November, a large contingent of cadets and members of the Corps of Drums took part in the Ealing Borough Remembrance Parade. The Corps of Drums proudly played as they marched, while our bugler, Rocco R, delivered a moving rendition of the Last Post.
The commemorations continued on 11 November with our Senior School’s own Remembrance Service at Ealing Abbey. Bringing the school community together, the service provided an opportunity to remember those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. St Benedict’s cadets formed a Guard of Honour, creating a fitting backdrop to the service, while representatives of our school community, past and present, laid wreaths at the altar.
These annual commemorations are an important part of school life, bringing our community together in remembrance and reflection, while ensuring that the sacrifices of previous generations are never forgotten.
