Members of the University are invited to come together to observe a minute’s silence for Remembrance Day on Friday 11 November, when third-year trumpeter and Music Scholarship student Alex Reid will play ‘The Last Post.’

The event will take place on the lawn outside the Registry Building on 11 November at 11am; all are invited, members of the public are also welcome to attend.

This will be followed at 1.10pm by a lunchtime concert focusing on poet and composer Ivor Gurney. Arranged by Dr Kate Kennedy, the event dramatises Gurney’s life as musician, soldier and eventually asylum patient, following his progress in his own words and music, with humour and poignancy. Admission free.
