Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) has reversed a decision to ban the wearing of collarettes at its Remembrance Sunday service.<\/p>\n
A document setting out arrangements for next month’s wreath-laying ceremony, seen by BBC News NI, stated: “Please note that collarettes are not to be worn.”<\/p>\n
The move was criticised by the university’s Young Unionists club, which said that banning collarettes – such as those worn by Orange Order members – “reinforces the perception among some unionist students that Queen’s remains a cold house for their community”.<\/p>\n
In a statement, QUB said that “having listened to feedback” it had “agreed that they can continue to be worn”.<\/p>\n
The Remembrance service will be held at QUB’s war memorial, which sits in front of the university’s main Lanyon Building, on Sunday 8 November.<\/p>\n
Several of the university’s societies and clubs are expected to attend and lay wreaths at the memorial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) has reversed a decision to ban the wearing of collarettes at its Remembrance Sunday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-385137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
