Poppy Pilgrimage
Members of the University of Leicester community have completed a Poppy Pilgrimage to mark 100 years since the University’s foundation as a living memorial.
Students, staff, local people and both serving and retired members of the Armed Forces have laid more than 50 poppy wreaths across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland in recognition of the local people who made sacrifices during the First World War.
One of the memorials chosen this year was at St. Botolph’s, Ratcliffe on the Wreake, on the 9th November at 2.30pm.
Three members of the East Midlands University Officers Training Corps (EMUOTC), Ollie, George and Alex, laid the wreath with a group of villages looking on.
Our picture above shows the group with the three cadets after the wreath laying ceremony.
