Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral erupted as a devastated sister collected her brothers degree after his death.
Katie Taylor stepped onto the graduation stage inside Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral to collect her 22-year-old brother's degree after he died suddenly while on holiday. Grant Taylor, who was due to graduate from the Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship course at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), died while on holiday in Val-d’Isere, France in February 2022.
In a video taken of the ceremony, people in the cathedral stood up and applauded when Katie took to the stage, with many people taking off their caps as a sign of respect. The family told The ECHO their time in Liverpool was "bittersweet" as they were proud of Grant's achievements but their hearts felt "heavy" without him there.
