At Loughborough College, Public Services lecturer Dave Corrigan led the service. Executive Director of IT and Transformation, Chris Manton, recited the Royal British Legion’s ‘What is Remembrance?’. Uniformed Public Services students, including Jacob Pallatt, Aleksandra Robacynzska, and Ewan James Clarke, delivered readings of 'A Soldier's Poem', 'In Flanders’ Field', and 'Ode to Remembrance'.
Brooksby College also paid tribute to animals that served in military conflicts. At the campus’s indoor Equine Riding School, staff, students, and animals from the College’s kennels and stables gathered to lay purple poppy wreaths.
Stephenson College held its tributes with recitals from Principal Jonny Watkin, Executive Director of People & Culture, Emma Kilby Brooks, and Executive Director of Strategic Planning, Performance, and MIS, Ben Docherty. Principal Jonny Watkin reflected, “We have gathered today to take a moment to remember those brave men and women who not only served our country in the past, but also those who still do serve to protect our freedom and peace.”
Representatives from the Armed Forces, emergency services, the College Group, and Governors also laid wreaths on behalf of their organisations.
