Day 1

Day 1

Day 2 Standing at Essex Farm, where John McCrae wrote In Flanders Fields. A hauntingly peaceful place, echoing with the memory of sacrifice. #WWI #Remembrance Royal High School

Day 2 Visited Langemark German Cemetery — somber, understated, and deeply moving. A stark reminder that grief knows no borders. #WWI #History Royal High School

Day 2 Explored the preserved trenches at Sanctuary Wood. Mud, wire, and timber still whisper the soldiers’ stories. History you can feel. #WWI #Trenches Royal High School

Day 2 Hill 60 — quiet now, but once shattered by mines and battle. The earth here still bears scars of the past. #WWI #Battlefields Royal High School

at Tyne Cot Cemetery, paying tribute to former RHS pupil Philip Bent VC. His courage and sacrifice, like so many here, will never be forgotten. #WWI #LestWeForget #RHSRemembers Royal High School

Day 2 Our day ended at the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate — a powerful tribute held every evening since 1928. Silence, bugles, remembrance. We will remember them. #MeninGate #WWI #LestWeForget Royal High School

All packed and boarded on the bus — we’re on our way home! Will keep you posted on our journey and share an updated ETA soon.

Back in the UK! Lovely smooth sailing across the channel. Onward to our next stop.

We’ve reached Wetherby services. Stopping for some food before getting back on the road. Will send ETA as soon as we can.

Final stop at Gretna done—on the road with a 9pm ETA. Please avoid bringing cars onto school grounds or surrounding roads to allow safe coach access and manoeuvring.
