Ethan took part in Sunday’s Remembrance service at the Cenotaph in Albert Park, Middlesbrough, joining the Army Cadet Force and other groups to honour those who lost their lives in conflict.
The service included a parade, two-minute silence, hymns and the laying of wreaths.

Today our school fell silent to remember.
This year our Drama students made an original film about the bombardment of Hartlepool on 16 December 1914 and one local family’s journey from that morning to Armistice Day in 1918. It was filmed at Beamish and shared with every student just before our two minutes’ silence.
Thank you to our Drama Department and the brilliant team at @BeamishMuseum for helping us bring history to life.
