Year 5 pupils from Rosendale Primary school took part in a ceremony to commemorate the First World War centenary, and remember those who gave their lives in conflict.  

The remembrance was organised by All Saints Church (West Dulwich), in partnership with the Tenants’ Association

Rosendale Road is home to two war memorials marking both military and civilian deaths in wartime on Peabody estates. This includes a Lych gate listing the names of 35 men from the estate who died on active service in WW1. There is also a memorial plaque in honour of three residents killed on the estate during World War Two.   

All Saints clergy, Gill O’Neill and David Stephenson led the service of readings, prayers and the traditional two-minute silence  

David said "I am delighted that children from Rosendale School were able to join us, along with people who have lived in this community for many years. That we are such a diverse group is a wonderful sign of hope." 

Following the Act of Remembrance, poppy wreaths were placed at the foot of the memorial.
