Speaking afterwards, Canon Claire said “This is always one of the most poignant services of Remembrance where our Benefice schools come together to participate.
“The wreaths will be on display at the Pershore Commemorative Garden for the next two weeks so both residents and visitors can see the level of respect that our young people have.
“Each year the pupils of our schools are impeccable and a true credit to their schools, their parents and our community.”
