A CEREMONY to celebrate Worcester's new status as a university city was due to fill the Cathedral this afternoon.
Former students of the university were joining current staff for the grand event at 4pm.
The institution, formerly University College Worc-ester, was awarded full status on Monday, September 6, after meeting all the criteria laid down by the Govern-ment. Now, with the university's 8,000 students having settled into their courses for this academic year, the Cathedral is to host the official foundation celebration.
l From tomorrow we will be publishing the names of each student due to graduate that day, and photographs of the graduation. Order your Worcester News from your local newsagent today.
