A MOVING and atmospheric tribute to the fallen will be installed at Worcester’s Bishop Perowne CofE College next week.

The tribute will mark the start of the college's commemoration of the First World War and become a central point for acts of Remembrance in November.

It aims to help people focus on those who have fought in conflicts such as the Great War and think about how the world has changed since that conflict.

The interactive art installation, entitled Light in the Darkness, has been designed by stained glass artist Catherine Pinnock and has previously stood in Birmingham Cathedral.

The canvass, in deep shades of blue, purple and black, has the inscription ‘All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle’ (the words of Saint Francis of Assisi).

In the front stands a single candle surrounded by movable blocks bearing poignant inscriptions.

Bishop Perowne headteacher Julie Farr said: "The installation will be in the art gallery until Christmas and parents, carers and members of the local community are more than welcome to come and use it as a focal point for their thoughts and Remembrance.

"Also, it is important to us to remember and celebrate the influences and people who have played a significant role in the spiritual, moral and cultural development of the Bishop Perowne family."
