Graduation day double for dad and daughter

A Shetland family enjoyed a double graduation day when a father and his daughter were recognised together.

Andrew Lyall and his daughter Emily both obtained degrees from Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, 20 years apart.

But Mr Lyall could not attend his graduation ceremony for his surveying course in 1997 due to a job interview. Emily had to postpone hers due to illness. Emily told local media: “It was really cool to graduate with my father. It made it a bit more special because I’d missed it with my friends [last year].”
