Canterbury Christ Church University has announced it is holding its graduation ceremonies online, in a move branded an insult by disappointed former students.
The university says it has reached a limit in being able to postpone graduation events and ceremonies to mark the completion of degrees will now be held over Zoom free of charge.

Once it is safe to do so, graduates will be invited for a drinks reception at university where they can meet fellow graduates and staff.
But some feel the formal ceremony should still take place in the future, and have launched a petition calling for the move to be revoked.
