Assembly will remember former pupil

Tuesday 25th May 2010, 9:23AM BST.

Youngsters at a Shropshire school will hold a special assembly to remember a former pupil who was killed in a plane crash a year ago.

Seven-year-old Andras Szarvas, who lived in Ludlow with his mother Rita, 31, attended Ludlow Infant School for two years from 2006.

He and his mother, both Hungarian nationals, were killed when Air France flight 447 was lost in the Atlantic Ocean, causing the deaths of more than 200 people on May 31 last year.

Andras’s father Georg Buslig will visit the school on Friday with the boy’s cousin Daniel Fuleki to install a plaque alongside a cherry tree planted in a memorial garden at the school.

Rita Szarvas worked at the Megan Baker House at Moreton Eye, near Leominster.

She and her son moved back to Hungary in 2008.

Headteacher Val Matthews said: “On Friday, Andras’s dad and his cousin are coming over again to put a plaque by the tree that we planted for him last year.

We will have a celebration assembly by the tree and we have photos for them of the celebration when we planted the tree.”
