Cheers rang out this morning as hundreds of students paraded their way through Aberdeen’s P&J Live as part of RGU’s winter graduation ceremony.

The two-day event began today, Tuesday, with graduates passing out of their studies with honours in subjects including electrical engineering, digital media, and pharmacy.

Our photographer, Kenny Elrick, attended the morning ceremony to capture some of the moments many had waited years for.
