Public invited to remember fallen heroes

Thursday 30 October 2008

Veterans, former students and members of the public are being invited to attend the annual Remembrance Day Service at Redcar & Cleveland College next Friday (7th November).
 
Details of the service are as follows:
 
Date:          Friday 7th November
Time:         10.20am – 11.40am
 
(Refreshments will be served after the ceremony in the college atrium)
 
Location:    Redcar & Cleveland College, Corporation Road, Redcar
 
The service is a tradition maintained by the college dating back to the days of Sir William Turner’s school in the early 20th century and this year’s ceremony will see the re-dedication of the war memorial in its new home on the corner of Corporation Road and Locke Road.
 
The ceremony will be attended by current staff and students of the college, along with the Bishop of Whitby, the Right Reverend Robert Ladds, who will carry out the re-dedication of the memorial. An Honour Guard from the Royal British Legion will also lead a march past of the memorial.
 
Peter Chester of Redcar and Cleveland College, who is a member of the Sir William Turner Trust and who is leading the organisation of this year’s ceremony, said:
 
“Anyone who feels that they would like to come and show their respects is welcome to come and attend the ceremony.
 
“Whilst the college has moved to its fantastic new home for the future, it is vitally important that we do not forget the past sacrifices that have been made by many young men from Redcar and across the country, who have sacrificed their lives in order that we can be here today.”
 
Anyone who wishes to attend the service should contact Peter Chester at Redcar & Cleveland College on 01642 473132 or email pchester@cleveland.ac.uk
