Remembrance Day at Keble
Today at Keble we held our remembrance day assembly to commemorate the occasion. I explained to the boys the meaning behind “Remembrance Day” and its origins from “Armistice Day” along with the symbol of the poppy. The Head boy Max Carman read the poem “In Flanders Field” by John McCrae and at 11am the school observed a two-minute silence in respect to all those people who have lost their lives or been affected by the wars and conflicts the UK and its allies have been involved in. All the boys were very respectful of the occasion and everyone was encouraged to reflect, during the silence, on not only the bravery of those in the past but also all the key workers and NHS staff who have been so brave fighting the current pandemic.
