On Tuesday evening, both coaches attended the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate. Well done to Ellie and Luke who represented the school as wreath bearers. Both have epitomised the values and standards of St Leonard’s students throughout this trip and should be proud.

Both groups are back in their respective hotels after a long and fascinating day touring some of the WW1 Battlefields. Very emotional and sobering seeing so many graves of fallen soldiers, especially those from so close to home… #STLBattlefields
