It was wonderful to be at Abbey School in Faversham to celebrate the official twinning of their sports pitch with Flanders Peace Field, the site of the 1914 Christmas Truce.
It was a touching tribute to all those who gave their lives in the Great War and it was fantastic to see so many young people get involved in this centenary year.
The event was part of the National Children's Football Alliance's Peace Fields Project, which brings history and sport together by inviting schools to commemorate the occasion in 1914 when British and German troops played football in no-man's-land.
Over 500 people attended, including Paul Cooper, the National Projects Director for the NFCA, Tom Gates, President for the Faversham branch of the Royal British Legion, Rosalind Meredith, Director of Maidstone Museum and the Deputy Mayor and Mayoress of Faversham.
