Remembrance

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

This guide provides a selection of resources from the college libraries that will help you to understand Remembrance. The events of Remembrance honours those who serve to defend our democratic freedoms and way of life. We unite across faiths, cultures and backgrounds to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community from Britain and the Commonwealth.

Every year the nation unites to make sure that no-one is forgotten and to remember and honour those who have sacrificed themselves to secure and protect our freedom.
