On Thursday 14th February, the Year 5 and 6 students of Lydiate Primary school, along with students from St Gregory's Catholic Primary and St Thomas' Church of England Primary took part in a memorial service for the end of the First World War.

It was the completion a project funded by the Heritage Lottery in which all three schools had been researching and working with local historians, taking part in a library visit to Crosby Civic Hall and watched a dramatic performance, all based around the experience of life in the trenches and actively participating in the centenary of the end of the First World War. 

The Heritage Lottery, along with project lead Kath Coyle, helped organise a celebration of the project that took place at Lydiate Primary school. Ms Coyle along with her colleagues, revealed the Lydiate website, presented a video of the project, available on the website below and unveiled a memorial plaque, situated at the entrance of the school.
