With #RemembranceSunday approaching, we look back at past services - including our virtual service during the pandemic, where I had the honour of reading Don Crawford’s poem “Why Wear a Poppy.” Wearing a poppy is a simple act of remembrance - a tribute to courage and sacrifice.

Cadets at HMS Sultan planted their poppy garden for the 5th year running. The tradition started in 2020 & continues to honour those who served and sacrificed. This Sunday, they'll join Remembrance services across the local community. 🌺 #LestWeForget @VCCcadets @BandsRMVCC

Happy 361st Birthday to the entire @RoyalMarines Corps family today. Formed in 1664, the Royal Marines are an integral part of the Royal Navy and have a huge part of the Volunteer Cadet Corps history! Per Mare, Per Terram. #RM361 #HappyBirthday

Remembrance is an important moment of the year when we show our support for our Armed Forces. Wearing a poppy and supporting the @PoppyLegion is one way to thank the Armed Forces for the sacrifices they continue to make to protect our freedom.

Back in 1921, the first #PoppyAppeal began a tradition that still means so much today - wearing a poppy to honour the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces! @VCCcadets is proud to support the launch of this year’s Poppy Appeal ❤️ #LestWeForget #PoppyAppeal2025 @PoppyLegion
