Five Year 6 pupils from Castle Primary School took part in a poignant act of remembrance by laying a wreath at the war memorial at Ham Hill Country Park, in Stoke sub Hamdon, during a local Remembrance service.
Joining veterans, fellow pupils and local dignitaries, the children played an active role in the service, confidently reading aloud the names of those who lost their lives in conflict.
Their participation provided a meaningful opportunity to honour the fallen, reflect on the sacrifices made by previous generations and demonstrate the importance of remembering those who gave their lives in service to their country.
Frances Abbott, Associate Assistant Principal at Castle Primary School, said: “The pupils represented Castle Primary School with great pride and respect.
“It was a privilege to see them take such an active role in the service, particularly in reading the names of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
“Events like this help our children understand the importance of remembrance and ensure that the stories of those who gave their lives are never forgotten.”
