The service was led by the Revd Ian McGrath and several of the children laid wreaths they had made and read prayers they had written while others were included in a book of prayers that was placed in the parish church. Mr Albert Martin laid the parish wreath and Reveille and the last post was played.Silence was observed at 11am and afterwards the service continued in St Andrews and the children with their teachers and other staff members returned to school.
