This Remembrance Day, our University community cam This Remembrance Day, our University community came together to honour the staff and students who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars and in other conflicts.

A service was held in the Victoria Gallery and Museum, followed by a ceremony at the Chavasse Memorial, where representatives from the armed forces laid poppy wreaths in an act of remembrance.

We will remember them. ❤️
