“The last post was played by beautifully by Alfie.”
Mrs Bakhtiari said the service is a ‘fittingly solemn moment’ in the college calendar, adding: “We came together to give thanks and remember the sacrifice of all those that have fought in wars to defend and protect our way of life.
"The names of the Old Shorehamer's who lost their lives in the first and second world wars were read out, and the Shoreham College community of 2021 remembered them. One hundred and five Old Shorehamer's were remembered.”
