Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death of Her Majesty The Queen.

Queen Elizabeth II was a great supporter of the University throughout her life. Her Majesty first visited the University in 1949, when the then Princess Elizabeth received an honorary degree.

She visited the University on countless occasions and provided invaluable support to students, staff and University officials alike.
