Today @UniofSuffolk awarded @emmafreud an honorary doctorate. Richly deserved for an impressive career, her extensive humanitarian work and for being such a passionate ambassador for Suffolk ❤️ Pictured here with husband Richard Curtis and our Vice Chancellor Jenny Higham.
My first graduation ceremony as Chancellor of University of Suffolk. Utterly joyful to celebrate the graduates’ hard work and achievement and to thank everyone: faculty, family and friends who have supported them.
Go forth, be fabulous, be kind.

The English Symphony Orchestra performed a programme of Sibelius, Mendelssohn, Dvorak, Smetana and Smyth. Zeb Soanes (classic fm) explained each piece as we progressed through the evening. Kenneth Woods, conductor took charge with Joely Koos playing her cello as soloist.
Thank you @naughtiej for this generous mention in @thetimes — Come and see TWO HALVES OF GUINNESS in October at @salisburyplay or @ReadingRep with a UK tour early next year. Link in bio.
A fun morning, recording courtroom scenes for a classic radio detective drama — coming in November. The sign on the gate told us what to expect ☠️
What a fantastic night at @stedscath celebrating The Great British Harvest Festival. An extraordinary lineup including @DameEvelyn @wisemandebbie @johnmrutter — and I got to sing Jerusalem with @ChesneyHawkes !

This was a very happy making afternoon at the @BFI meeting some childhood icons and remembering the great puppeteer Ronnie Le Drew (Zippy) who sadly died on Tuesday. The kindest man. An auditorium of such joy and talents.

@ClassicFM I've really enjoyed listening to the Composer Carousel this evening featuring the music of @maxrichtermusic Thank you @zebsoanes for a really wonderful programme ❤️
Very sad to hear this morning of the death of Ed Stourton. A gentleman on and off the radio. Here, we had immense fun performing John Tavener’s THE WHALE with assorted fellow BBC radio news voices at the @bbcproms in 2008.
