Commemoration Service – September 2017

On Commemoration Day we were encouraged by the Chaplain to consider a pirate asking us, ‘Where will ye be in 500 years time, me beauty?’  Making the service fun and memorable, Padre Cook then explained to us how Thomas Seckford’s enduring legacy and example is something we can all aspire to – and how, if we’re ever asked by a pirate, ‘Where will ye be in 500 years time, me beauty?’ we might hope to say, ‘Remembered in the hearts and lives of the young.’ On Monday our aim was to honour our benefactors, whose generosity has ensured our flourishing.
