Speech Day at Oswestry School

The Guest of Honour at the Oswestry School 2009 speech day was the actor Robert Hardy CBE, who gave a fascinating speech which wove a masterful tapestry of amusing anecdotes, expert historical knowledge and keen insight into contemporary situations. Mr Hardy is no stranger to Oswestry School, having visited during the 600th Anniversary celebrations in 2007, when he delivered an excellent talk on the English Longbow, a subject on which he is an international expert.

As well as speaking at Speech Day and presenting the awards to successful students, Robert Hardy was the guest at an earlier reception during which presentations were made to retiring members of staff and the Old Oswestrians Society.
