Thanks to the Headmaster of Bloxham School, I went to Belgium to the Menin Gate to attend the Last Post ceremony at 8.00pm.\u00a0 It was an emotional experience. The busy traffic using the main road into Ypres goes through the gate, but was stopped at 7.30pm and about 1000 people gathered to take part in the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Bloxham School Choir had been invited to be the choir for the evening under the Director of Music, Dan Jordan.\u00a0 Needless to say they were very impressive and an important part of the ceremony.\u00a0 I had the honour of laying a wreath on behalf of the Old Bloxhamists, and the School\u2019s Head Girl, Saskia Hall, laid a wreath on behalf of the current pupils and staff.<\/p>\n<p>It is an experience that I will never ever forget. Anyone considering this experience can just turn up and attend.\u00a0 It is one of those things one needs to do.<\/p>\n<p>PJPB<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-34731\" src=\"http:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/LastPostChoir_c.png\" alt=\"LastPostChoir_c\" width=\"582\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/LastPostChoir_c.png 968w, https:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/LastPostChoir_c-300x173.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><br \/>\n<a title=\"The Menin Gate, Ypres by Snapshooter46, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/calotype46\/5883890538\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5267\/5883890538_deef04638a_z.jpg\" alt=\"The Menin Gate, Ypres\" width=\"401\" height=\"301\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">The Menin Gate, Ypres, Belgium.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloxham School Choir sing at Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate.
