Paula Hillman, who received a Master's degree in creative writing, celebrated with her daughter Rosie, who was also with her when she graduated from Lancaster University the first time in 1987.

Four people distinguished in their field were also awarded an honorary degree at the University’s postgraduate graduation ceremonies.
They are Andy Rubin, Vivien A.F. Bickham MBE and Baroness Catherine Ashton , who received an Honorary Doctor of Laws, and Robert Rimmer, who received an Honorary Doctor of Science.
