"As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain" The closing words of Laurence Binyon's poem "For the Fallen" open this Service of Remembrance in a new setting by composer Lucy Walker. The text, written in 1914, resonates through the decades as different generations remember those lost and injured through conflict. Sir Chris Tickell gives the address in the service from the chapel at Wellington College which is led by pupils at the school.
