London Metropolitan University Graduation Ceremony

The Duke today congratulated graduating students at London Metropolitan University’s Graduation Ceremony, held at the Barbican Centre in the City of London.

HRH took on the patronage from The Duke of Edinburgh in April 2013, who was Patron between 1954 and 2013. London Metropolitan University, and its ancestor institutions, have maintained Royal Patronage since Prince Albert became Patron of the ‘Metropolitan Evening Classes for Young Men’ in 1852.

Speaking at the Graduation Ceremony The Duke said he was humbled to take on the role of Patron, thanked the parents and families for their essential support of those who were completing their studies and wished all the graduating students every success in the future.
