On Friday, 7th November, we held our annual Remembrance Day service, with all students and staff gathering on the front lawn of the school. The service was also attended by special guests, including the Buckingham Town Mayor and Countess Howe, His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, and Old Latin former and serving members of the military, including Air Marshall Sir Julian Young (Class of 1980) and Commodore Alison Hofman (Class of 1989).

The event included the laying of wreaths at the school's memorial, a performance by the school choir, the rendition of The Last Post by student trumpeters, as well as the reading out of the names of Old Latins who gave their lives in the two World Wars.

This year, the event was also enhanced by a striking display of poppies, cascading down the side of the school building. This installation was created during a recent school Enrichment Day, during which students from all year groups collaborated in crafting poppies using a variety of materials, including crochet, fabric, foam, and recycled plastic bottles. The installation also comprised 52 clay poppies that were specially made to honour those from the Royal Latin School who lost their lives in the two World Wars.

Head and Deupty Head students also represented the school at the main Buckingham Remembrance Parade on Sunday, 9th November.
