Record numbers of Club 1541 members, including a WWII hero, enjoy special Carol Services

Thank you to the 270+ Club 1541 members who joined us for this week’s Carol Services at Gloucester Cathedral. It was a pleasure to welcome you back to King’s.

This year saw record attendance, with members enjoying beautiful services, outstanding singing, and refreshments in the Ivor Gurney Hall. A highlight of Wednesday afternoon's service was the presence of Graham Terrett, a 100-year-old WWII veteran and former King’s student. Graham, who served on ‘Fire Watch’ in the Cathedral tower 85 years ago before joining the RAF, sang with great enthusiasm and shared his memories with alumni and current parents. He was delighted to meet our youngest chorister, Anthony, aged nine.
