A Splendid Occasion: Thanksgiving for Norman Borrett

Norman occupied centre-stage in the Chapel, where the altar was decked-out with his squash racquets, ties, squares and blazers representing just a small selection of his sporting achievements. The photograph shows Tony Lawrence (Second Master) talking with Stephen Waters, the College Chaplain, just before the service.

Norman Porter, General Secretary of the SOF, gave a wonderful and very moving tribute to his namesake – click here to see the full text in PDF format. So moving was it that the congregation burst into spontaneous applause at the end.

This was followed by a series of anthems and other choral music from the College Chamber Choir, who performed quite brilliantly.

After the service, the Head hosted a fine buffet supper in Paul’s Court. Mullie Borrett (Honorary OF) was in excellent spirits and was very much the centre of attention. In this photograph Mullie can be seen in the blue dress on the left (we’re going to sack the photographer!).
