Today, staff and students across Buckinghamshire College Group came together to mark Remembrance Day, taking time to reflect on and remember those who have lost their lives in conflict, and the sacrifices made by service personnel, their families and communities.
At the College's Aylesbury Campus, Public Services students led a moving commemorative march and drill display. The procession began in T Block and made its way through to the Atrium, where students, staff and visitors gathered for a period of remembrance.
The commemoration included a reading from a Public Services lecturer, followed by a recital of the well-known poem In Flanders Fields by two Public Services students. At 11:00am, attendees observed the national two-minute silence, joining people across the UK in remembrance and reflection.
Many staff and students attended the event, demonstrating the College community's respect and appreciation for those affected by conflict and war.
As a diverse college community, Buckinghamshire College Group recognises that Remembrance Day may hold different meanings for different people. The College also acknowledges that conflict and war have touched many nations, cultures, faiths and families, including members of its own community. For many, the day provides an important opportunity for reflection, remembrance and respect.
A special thank you goes to our Public Services students, whose professionalism and commitment helped make this year's commemoration so meaningful. Their leadership and support ensured a respectful and poignant event for all those in attendance.
