Last week we attended a 'celebration' of the life of our tiny local primary school (ages 6-11) attended years ago by our 23-year old daughter and 17-year old son in succession. It closed for ever on Friday. The 9 current pupils sang their hearts out to parents, supporters, and assorted dignitaries. The background represents the town of Hamelin, and they sang extracts from a musical version of "The Pied Piper of Hamelin".

My songave a lovely, witty short talk about his time in the school (and his big sister's), as did his best friend then & now, and several other alumni.

Here he is, in action. It's difficult to get pictures of teenagers when they're not looking embarrassed, so I'm pleased I attended the event.

Nice shot Alan. And a touching story. Every school I attended (4) with the exception of one has been torn down. I feel after I left them the teachers lost interest in trying to teach and gave up.
