CULCHETH High School footballers took part in a commemorative match to mark one of the most iconic moments of the First World War.
The year 10 and 11 teams took to the pitch as part of the international Football Remembers on Friday.
Football Remembers is a project involving a series of events, jointly organised by the Premier League, the FA and the Football League, to commemorate 100 years since the start of the First World War.
The Culcheth teams will be honouring the moment the British and German forces downed their rifles and came together in ‘no-man’s land’ on Christmas Day in 1914.
Vicky Gough, schools adviser at the British Council, said: “It’s amazing to see so many schools across the UK joining in this national act of remembrance.
"The planned activities we have heard about from schools paint a powerful picture of teachers working with young people exploring questions of war and peace.
"The games of football played during the Christmas Truce of 1914 tell the human stories of the First World War and schools are engaging with it through truly remarkable projects.”
