More than 200 students from across the north-east have graduated from North East Scotland College this week.

The two day ceremony at the city’s Music Hall concluded this afternoon following an earlier morning session and two graduation events on Tuesday.

This year marked the first since 2019 that students met in-person to graduate following the Covid-19 pandemic.

Our photographer Kenny Elrick attended today to capture the moment students celebrated their hard work coming to an end.

Can you spot yourself in our gallery below?
