The service included a programme of poems, readings, and songs led by students from the College’s Performing Arts department. They paid tribute to the courage and resilience of those affected by war, encouraging reflection on the importance of remembrance.
A specially designed set by the technical theatre team provided a poignant backdrop, fostering an atmosphere of reflection and respect. The audience also viewed a video message from local MP Chris Vince, who shared his grandparents' experiences during the Second World War.
Students eloquently spoke about the experiences of those who gave their lives in conflict, drawing on letters from the front line and contemporary accounts. These presentations connected historical events with modern-day remembrance, covering both the World Wars and more recent conflicts.
The event concluded with a two-minute silence at 11am, commemorating the end of the First World War. The service served as a powerful reminder of the importance of honouring the memory of those who have served, sacrificed, and continue to be affected by conflict globally.
