Sadly I don't have a picture of Merphi actually delivering his speech. He was right at the end of the programme and it was dark by the time he made his presentation. I did take photos but the flash on my camera isn't powerful enough and they didn't come out.

However his speech was an absolute triumph - it was punctuated by whoops and cheers from the students and the applause at the end was deafening!

Maurice and Catherine were both in tears and I felt very proud to be present at such a wonderful, moving event.
