David Morrissey was awarded an honorary degree by Liverpool Hope University.
At a Winter graduation ceremony last week the actor, born in Kensington, told graduating students at the Metropolitan Cathedral it was a "delight" to "share your day with you." He was receiving an honorary degree in recognition of his distinguished acting career and his charitable work.
