MPCT Cardiff join The Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance, Wales

Now in its thirty-ninth year, The Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance, in support of the annual Poppy Appeal, is the nations chance to come together to commemorate and honour all those who have lost their lives in conflict.

On Saturday 2nd November, Learners and staff from MPCT Cardiff attended the evening to represent MPCT in Wales for a packed night of music and entertainment that focused on a reflection on D-Day 75, liberation of s-Hertogenbosch as well as 140th Anniversary of Rourke’s Drift, with massed choirs, readings and The Regimental Band of The Royal Welsh.

MPCT is proud of its support for the Armed Forces and the annual Festival of Remembrance, as it not only provides an opportunity for communities across Wales to celebrate and pay thanks to our Service men and women, but also provides financial support with all proceeds going to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
