Sad to hear the news that Dame Cleo Laine has died, aged 97. Here she is with John Dankworth, before the Honorary Degree ceremony in Cambridge in 1994. 🎓
Photograph of four people in academical dress walking in front of a large stone building. Two are dressed in black gowns and are carrying silver maces. The other two (Dame Cleo Laine and John Dankworth) are dressed in colourful gowns of cream damask silk with cherry-coloured silk at the end of the sleeves and on the facings. Two men in black gowns are seen in the background, standing on the steps of the building, watching the group as they walk by.

Blue skies at the gallery today! #ModernArt #GuggenheimBilbao
Photo taken inside the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, looking up towards the ceiling. A jumble of pillars cans walkways is visible, intermingled with windows through which sunshine and blue sky may be seen.

Fleeing the Other Place and making a new home somewhere blue seems terribly familiar for some reason … 🎓 #CambridgeCalling #WelcomeToBlueSky
The exterior of the Senate House in Cambridge, at the West End. A Palladian limestone facade, with three upper storey windows visible, beneath them a wooden door flanked by two windows; the whole framed with four fluted columns. Above the building, a blue sky with a wisp of white cloud.
