The programme also included the honorary graduate ceremony with actor Jamie Dornan awarded a Doctorate of the University for distinction in the Arts.

Professor Sir Ian Greer, Queen’s University president and vice chancellor, said: “We are delighted to award honorary degrees to this group of hugely successful and inspirational group of individuals today. They have all played a significant role in putting Belfast and Northern Ireland on the map and we are honoured that they will be part of the Queen’s community.”
