Sarah Purcell is First Class!

Michael Purcell's daughter, Sarah, has just received a 1st Class Honours Degree (B.Sc.) in Geography from Kings College London. If that wasn't enough, Sarah also won the Tenants Prize for excellence in the field and John B Thornes medal awarded for the best performance in Physical Geography in the final year. Her dissertation has been nominated for the essay prize awarded from the Royal Geographic Society. John B Thorne's wife sent her a letter of congratulations.

This is a fantastic achievement for Sarah and all her family and extended family are over the moon with her dedication and fantastic effort. Her dad Michael is the youngest of Agnes Purcell's children (who we all knew as Aunty Aggie!) And Aunty Aggie would have been chuffed with her Granddaughter's brilliant achievement. Sarah is seen receiving her Bachelor of Science Certificate fromm the Chancellor of the University. Well done Sarah!
