Remembrance is a period of time which many of us use to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. We honour the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives. A small symbol of that can be found each year via the poppy which many of us wear on our clothing to show our own respect.
This year however, at one of our local University campuses, this simple, yet very important symbol has been hampered by representatives of its student union which is proposing a motion to ban the sale of poppys at its' campus.
The University of Ulster DUP condemns this motion at UU Coleraine campus and encourages the union to reconsider this motion.
