We recently joined the country in celebrating the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort, and welcomed our local neighbours, staff and students to a free BBQ and film screening<\/a> of Paddington on campus.<\/p>\n

The occasion was a particularly special one due to our links to the Royal Family through our Chancellor HRH The Duke of Edinburgh Prince Edward.<\/p>\n
