Schoolchildren across the Portsmouth area have been commemorating Remembrance over the last week. Here is how they remembered our fallen heroes.
Arundel Court Primary Academy in Portsmouth laid wreaths as part of their tribute to those who died in the First World War.
Deputy headteacher Rob Jones said: ‘Each class made a wreath and laid it in our school hall.
Schoolchildren in Gosport have been praised by their deputy headteacher for how they have approached the school’s remembrance commemorations.
The poppy display at the Tower of London was Copnor Primary School’s inspiration for their remembrance proceedings this year.
Pupils, parents and staff of Manor Infant School in Fratton designed an exhibition to teach children the significance of Remembrance Day.
Headteacher Ashley Howard said: ‘We wanted to raise the profile of the poppy, especially with it being 100 years since the end of the First World War.
A towering tribute was created by schoolchildren to honour all the men from Portsmouth killed during the First World War.
About 900 pupils from Miltoncross Academy united to create the impressive 8ft memorial.
The project was coordinated by teacher Mike Tumber, and has received praise from the academy’s principal, Fiona Calderbank.
She said: ‘I was very proud of all the students for wanting to take part in this project and for the respect that they have shown towards Portsmouth’s heritage.
Hundreds of children stood silently in the driving rain to pay their respects to all the area’s fallen war heroes killed in the First World War.
Children and teachers were joined by veterans, families of current-serving troops and the deputy mayor of Fareham.
Oliver Milnes, 15, read a story about a Fareham soldier killed during First World War, before thanking all of the veterans who had come to the ceremony for their military service.
‘It was a bit nerve-wracking but it felt good to stand up and pay my respects to the veterans,’ he said.
In honour of those who have lost their lives in wars and conflicts past and present, uniformed and public services students paraded through their college campus with pride.
Cadet Sargent Major Ivan Austin brought the parade to attention and dismissed the students.
