70 years ago, at the Queen’s Coronation in 1953, three OLs came together to sing at Westminster Abbey. Michael Windross, Christopher Opstad and Chris Brooker, all then unknown to each other, met again in the choir stalls of the College Chapel some five years later!

Great to hear our former pupil @OSoden on Front Row talking about his latest book, Masquerade, and the new production of Private Lives at the @DonmarWarehouse.

We look forward to hearing more when he joins us to give the Evelyn Waugh Lecture 📖 https://t.co/CDBQZ1m2r1

It is with great sadness that the Lancing community offers its sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family on the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Her faith, commitment to service and loyalty to our country have been a wonderful example to so many generations.

We are sad to hear of the sudden death of Sir Christopher Meyer, KCMG @SirSocks. We were privileged to have him as a former pupil (Teme House, 1957–1961). He was a loyal friend to many in the Lancing community and our thoughts are with Catherine and the family at this time.
