Students and staff gathered around the Atrium for the remembrance ceremony that began with Army Cadets from ICC marching and saluting to the memorial in the centre of the Atrium.

Sixth form students Dmitrijs Smetanins and Georgia Morris laid a commemorative wreath before staff and students observed a two minute silence at 11:00am to the sound of the 'last call' to commemorate those who fought and died for Britain not just those that died in the First World War, but in World War Two and later conflicts.

The first two-minute silence in Britain was held on November 11, 1919 at the request of King George V, the Queen's grandfather.

The Exhortation was recited by Year 8 student Joshua Flowers.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Merita Zemliauskaite read the poem “September 2, 1939” by M. Jean Prussing which was followed by poppies falling on to the memorial.

It was an extremely emotional ceremony with the whole school gathered together.
