Students at City of Wolverhampton College will be honouring those who suffered or died at war at a Remembrance parade on Wednesday, 11 November.
Around 100 students who are studying for qualifications in uniformed public services, will be holding the service at the college’s Wellington Road campus, in Bilston.
The students, wearing college-branded uniforms and poppies, will form up in the college quadrangle and march in behind two standard bearers who will parade in the union jack and college flag.
The service – on the Royal British Legion’s 2026 theme of Armed Forces families – will include the National Anthem, readings by students in English, Polish and Punjabi, a recital of the Exhortation, and playing of the Last Post, before the assembled company is called to attention for a two-minute silence at 11am.
Tom Fereday, aged 18, from Warstones, who is studying for a Level 3 extended diploma in public services, said: “I feel very proud to be taking part in this symbolic occasion as we remember those who fought hard for our country. We wouldn’t be here without them, so it is an opportunity for us to say thank you for their sacrifice.”
Students, apprentices and staff from across the campus will be attending the service which will also be streamed live on the college’s YouTube channel for those based at the City Learning Quarter campus.
