The Isle of Wight College

We’re proud to celebrate our Media student Christopher, who recently attended the 82nd D-Day commemorations in Normandy.

During the visit, Christopher met 100-year-old veteran Ken Hay MBE, who shared a remarkable Isle of Wight connection — revealing he waited off Ryde Pier for four days before the landings.
The trip was also deeply personal, he reflected on his own family’s wartime history while documenting the event through photography.

This experience highlights how Isle of Wight College students bring learning to life — combining creativity, history, and real-world opportunities to tell meaningful stories.
