On Sunday 9 November, Churcher’s College Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and Senior Wind Band were honoured to take part in the Petersfield town centre Remembrance Parade and Service, held in the Square outside St Peter’s Church, followed by a march to the town’s war memorial where wreaths were laid. The service was attended by many Petersfield residents wishing to pay their respects. It was quite a sight to see St Peter's Church adorned with over 17,000 hand sewn poppies (they do not know exactly how many and had to give up counting as it became too difficult!), an initiative started and supported by Petersfield's residents and quickly spreading to other parts of the UK and even overseas.

Churcher’s College commemorated Armistice Day with a special morning assembly followed by a procession through the school’s war memorial whilst the Army, Navy and RAF cadets stood in formation, accompanied by music from the Senior Wind Band. The banner party and wreath bearers led the procession to the school’s war memorial, built to honour Old Churcherians who fought in the First and Second World Wars. Poppy wreaths were laid and saluted after which all senior school pupils, staff and CCF cadets followed behind the wreath bearers to walk the route through the memorial to remember those lost. 

The School held its annual Remembrance Concert at St Peter’s Church the following day with its various choirs and ensembles performing admirably to a packed and very moved audience.
