Holy Cross remembers: Armistice Day 2026

Our Armistice Day service featured music from our Choral Scholars and orchestra, plus members of our Student Council delivering readings and prayers together with staff.

We also sold Royal British Legion poppies across campus, including beautiful hand knitted poppies from a staff member’s mum.

Thank you to everyone for respectfully observing the service.

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.
