I've just been looking at page 35 of this week's Harrow Observer, which previews next Sunday afternoon's walk inspired by the prime ministers educated at Harrow School. The article includes a photo of Sir Winston and Clemmie with headmaster AP Boissier at the school in 1940, plus portraits of Spencer Perceval (the only British PM to be assassinated in office), Sir Robert Peel (who "created London's first police force" - as opposed to the Bow Street Runners), Lord Aberdeen and Lord Palmerston. It says that Winston was originally destined for Eton, but Harrow was considered better for his health. He returned annually from the 1940s to the 1960s to hear performances of the school songs.

The school hymn is "He who would true valour see" - words by John Bunyan, tune trad.

PS Herga was the old name for Harrow.
