Parents, pupils, and many Old Brightonians came to listen to the roll call of those who died in World War 2, to observe the Silence and to hear the choir sing the Faure Requiem. The readings, which concentrated on the disabling effects of war, ranged from Wilfred Owen to a soldier engaged in Afghanistan. Any parent who was unable to attend, but would like a copy of the service booklet, should contact the Deputies' PA, Louise Moore.

Georgie Aisbitt allowed her pet lamb to graze on the Headmaster’s lawn for half an hour, much to the delight and curiosity of passers by. She later removed both wellies and (false) beard before attending chapel.
