Following the news of Nelson Mandela’s passing last week, a selected group of children were involved in a dedicated balloon launch in honour of a man who inspired many and unquestionably left his mark on the world.


On the same day that world leaders gathered in South Africa to mark the occasion, Chris Lubbe (who himself inspired us during his anti-bullying talk and was Mandela’s former bodyguard) again joined children at Gomer Junior School with their own tribute.


The children took part in a moment of silence, before releasing the balloons in honour of Nelson Mandela.
