Years of hard work and dedication was applauded at University Campus Suffolk's Great Yarmouth centre in a graduation ceremony for students, family and friends.

Opening the celebration at Great Yarmouth Minster, UCS Deputy Provost Tim Greenacre said: 'I wish you every success in work and in life. It may feel like the end of the journey, but your connection with us is for life.

'We look forward to keeping in touch with you as your careers unfold.'

About 60 students collected their degrees in areas including creative music, visual media production and professional studies, cheered on by proud family and friends.

Editor of the Great Yarmouth Mercury Anne Edwards was made an Honorary Fellow of UCS during the ceremony, in recognition of her commitment to the people of the borough and her work for the community.
