What a lovely wonderful Proud Family day we have had.
Getting ready
At the McEwan Hall after a Reception. Daisy received her Dissertation Prize.
And yet again (we did this first at St Andrews), the Graduates get hit on the head with a piece of John Knox’s breeches. Interestingly enough, both Universities claim ownership of the original pair.
Sorry, I’m on my iPad and I can’t figure out how to rotate these photos.
The Hall was beautiful. We took our seats up “in the Gods” with a superb view of everyone. The pomp and ceremony was excellent.
Filling up with proud Mum tears, I even managed to totally embarrass Daisy with my very loud enthusiastic whistle (a two fingers in the mouth, taxi hailing whistle) with added whooping as well, when she went up to be hit on the head.
So that’s that. Well done Daisy Taylor BSc. Hons. MSc. Dist.
We are all very proud of you. ❤️ 🏆🍾🐴👏🏻
What an exciting day for a beautiful, young lady! Bravo!
Congrats to Daisy! And to Mum for being Mum The Proud. Safe travels home.
So wonderful ! Such a proud moment ! What’s next for Miss Daisy ?
She is working in Denmark now.
Pleased you had a lovely day. Congratulations to Daisy.
“…my very loud enthusiastic whistle (a two fingers in the mouth, taxi hailing whistle) with added whooping…”Oh- I highly approve! I would totally have done the same thing!! : )
Congratulations to Daisy!!!! Well done
Congratulations to Daisy. How proud you must be!
Hooray for Daisy
Congratulations Daisy! How awesome you are!
Congrats to all! An impressive day, especially for Daisy. Beautiful photos, of course.
Daisy is a delight. Hope you were overflowing with maternal pride.
I wish I could do a full two fingers in mouth whistle, Another friend of mine can and I have always envied her that gift. I had to content myself with a full throated West country whoop at Grace’s graduation ceremonies – not quite the same.
I am sure Miss Daisy will drive herself onwards and upwards but always with the support of her loving family behind her. My love and heartiest congratulations to you all
Congratulations to Daisy! I love the fact that we were all cheering her on via your blog. May her future career path be filled with interesting people and wonderful opportunities.
Sorry it’s late. Huge congratulations Daisy. Hard work always pays. Good luck for your future adventures.
Perhaps John Knox had more than one pair of breeches. . . in his lifetime.
Let’s hope so!
