Gordon's 140th anniversary year was launched on Saturday at the annual Whitehall Parade to the Gordon statue at Victoria Embankment Gardens. There, three wreaths were laid on behalf of the Gordon family, students and staff and Gordonians. Students stayed true to the school's character values, showing much resilience due to the protest taking place at the same time in Whitehall. The Whitehall Parade was followed by the Gordon Memorial Service on Sunday in Guildford Cathedral with the Bishop of Dorking the Right Reverend Paul Davies delivering the Gordon Sermon.
