armistice day crowd scene at Reaseheath College

Reaseheath College students and staff in Nantwich turned out in force at a college service to commemorate Armistice Day.

More than 1,000 people gathered around the flagpole on the college’s campus to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in conflict.

A wreath of poppies supplied by students was laid by Bill Holroyd, CBE, High Sheriff of Cheshire.

Two minutes of silence was followed by Reaseheath College Chaplain Drew Walker, who read the names on a college remembrance wall.

Mr Holroyd said: “This was a very impressive service attended by students who appreciate that many servicemen and women who are involved in current conflicts are the same age as themselves.”
