Blackpool Aspire Academy remembered the fallen members of the Armed Forces by holding a full school two minutes silence before lessons began this morning.

In a show of collective respect all staff and students stood in silence remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our liberty, not only in the two World Wars, but also in every conflict since.

And as is tradition here at Aspire, Mr Woods and a select few students laid a wreath in our memorial garden at 11am.
