Last Sunday, the Edward Alleyn Club's remembrance day service took place at Christ's Chapel of God's Gift in Dulwich Village, to honour all those who have given their lives in the service of their country.

The annual Remembrance Day service, a culmination of weeks of preparation and meticulous planning, brought together nearly 500 cadets and CFAVs from Alleyn's, Dulwich College, and JAGS, forming an impressive uniformed parade that marched through the heart of Dulwich.

Cadet RSM Widdows, the parade senior, meticulously ensured that every step and gesture was executed with precision and respect, reflecting the solemnity of the occasion. Reverend Lander, with her compassionate and heartfelt delivery, guided the service, imbuing it with the dignity and reverence it deserved.

The parade's return to Alleyn's was a sight to behold, a testament to the dedication and discipline of the cadets, their uniforms immaculate, their movements crisp and synchronized. Lt Col Richmond, commending the parade, remarked on the meticulous attention to detail, from the polished toe caps to the perfectly shaped berets, from the sharp drill movements to the unwavering silence during the two-minute silence. The parade, he observed, embodied a profound sense of pride and reflection, a stirring tribute to the sacrifices of those who came before.

The Edward Alleyn Club's Remembrance Day service served as a poignant reminder of the courage and selflessness of those who have given their lives for their country. The parade, a testament to the spirit of unity and respect, echoed through the streets of Dulwich, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who witnessed it.
