Nottingham actress Vicky McClure has been awarded an honorary degree by the University of Nottingham. The Line of Duty star said it was a "real honour" to be recognised as she was made a doctor of letters at a graduation ceremony on Tuesday, August 9.
She received her degree from Pro-Vice-Chancellor for global engagement, professor Robert Mokaya, before delivering a speech to hundreds of students graduating from the university’s School of Sociology and Social Policy.
Wollaton-born Ms McClure joined forces with the university for the documentary 'Our Dementia Choir with Vicky McClure' in 2018. She was inspired to do this through caring for her Nana Iris and through her role as an ambassador for the Alzheimer's Society.
