Portland Residents Mark Remembrance Day at Local Parade

A female and male enjoying the Remembrance Day parade.

Portland College residents marked Remembrance Day over the weekend by creating displays and learning about the history behind 11th November. They had a great time making the displays, and it gave everyone the chance to talk about the day together and share what they had learned.

Residents also visited the Remembrance Day parade in Forest Town to watch Tracey, Portland Short Breaks Coordinator, march. Tracey is a veteran, and it was a proud moment for everyone to see her take part. It’s a time to remember and honour those who lost their lives in conflict and all those who have served.

Residential learner, Nancy said:

“I really enjoyed the parade and seeing Tracey march. I especially loved the band.”

Residential learner, Charlie said:

“I really enjoyed going. It was my second time attending the parade with Portland.”

It was a meaningful way to mark the occasion, and a chance to come together to remember and show respect.

We would like to say a special thank you to Tracey for her service, and for giving our residents such a memorable experience.
