Ceremonies

Have taken time out to help out two ceremonies today as a platfrom marshal. This year's innovations include an online webast which means that the platform are counted down into the Hall after a short promotional video has played. A bit wierd. The other, is a student representative making a speech (student union sabattical) which I thought was a really good idea and Sophia did an excellent job. Terry Pratchett gave an interesting and slightly informal response (that's Sir Terry as he likes to be called...) and there were the usual speeches which were interesting the first time round.........tommorrow it's a promotion to mace bearing!
