Students at City of Wolverhampton College will be honouring those who suffered or died at war at a Remembrance parade on Monday, 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 two standard bearers will parade in the union jack and college flag. 

The service will include a reading of the Ode of Remembrance before the assembled company is called to attention for a two-minute silence at 11am.  

Flag bearer Brandon Wall, aged 17, who is studying for a Level 3 extended diploma in protective services  and wants to be a police officer, said “It is an honour to have been chosen to be a flag bearer at the ceremony as it is an opportunity to show how much respect I have for the country and for all those who fought for us in years gone by.” 

Students, apprentices and staff from across the college will be attending the service which will also be streamed live on the college’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/wolvcollvideos
