It is the university's custom to honour former members of staff and students who have given their lives in the service of their country during the World Wars and other times of conflict.

Armistice Day falls on Tuesday 11 November 2025 and staff, students and members of the public are invited to attend the University’s Act of Remembrance Service and observe the Two Minute Silence. Those who wish to attend are asked to assemble in the John Viriamu Jones (VJ) Gallery, Main Building at 10:50am to allow proceedings to begin on time. All are welcome, please register to attend as places are limited.

The Service will be led by President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Wendy Larner, Co-ordinating Chaplain, Rev Delyth Liddell & the University Multi-faith chaplaincy.

Please note that access to the VJ Gallery from the horseshoe drive entrance of Main Building will be closed from 10.30am - 12:00pm and access from the Park Place entrance will only be permitted for those attending the Act of Remembrance during this time. Staff and students will be asked to present their university ID cards. There will be no access to the first-floor gallery from the VJ Gallery for the duration of the Service and access to the Science Library will be restricted.

Access through Main Building via the School of Chemistry and School of Earth and Environmental Science entrances will be permitted by university ID card during this time.
