Procession of University Officers and Staff
The Academic Procession will be led by a Marshal. Having arrived on stage, processions will remain standing until signalled to sit by the Chief Marshal. At the end of the Ceremony, the Chief Marshal will arrive on stage to lead the University Officers out via stage left, followed by Local Authority representatives. The Academic Procession will follow their Marshal out of the hall via stage right.
