24 pictures from moving Remembrance service led by 100 Wolverhampton students

Students led the service at the college's Wellington Road campus in Bilston

Around 100 students took part in a Remembrance parade at City of Wolverhampton College to honour those who suffered or lost their lives in war.

Students studying uniformed public services qualifications led the service at the college's Wellington Road campus in Bilston on Wednesday (November 11).

Wearing college-branded uniforms and poppies, students gathered in the quadrangle before marching behind two standard bearers carrying the Union Jack and college flag.

The service followed the Royal British Legion's 2026 theme of Armed Forces families and featured the National Anthem, readings in English, Polish and Punjabi, the Exhortation and the playing of the Last Post.

Those gathered then observed a two-minute silence at 11am to remember the sacrifices made by servicemen and women.

Tom Fereday, 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 attended the service, which was also set to be streamed live on the college's YouTube channel for those based at its City Learning Quarter site.
