Brian May

NAME: Brian May

DEGREE: Doctorate of Science

INSTITUTION: Hertfordshire University, Exeter University, Liverpool John Moores University

YEARS: 2002, 2007 (twice)

CITATION: "Few could have failed to be stirred by May's extraordinary virtuoso performance from the roof of Buckingham Palace to celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee, a lasting impression which has become one of the defining images of Jubilee year. The Queen / Ben Elton musical WE WILL ROCK YOU opened in London's West End in May this year and has since become the UK's biggest selling stage show.

May retains his keen interest in astronomy: he has appeared with Sir Patrick Moore on the Sky At Night and become a close friend; in return Moore recently made a cameo appearance in May's television advert for his new Best Air Guitar album.

May is also regarded as an expert in the field of Victorian Stereoscopic Photography." - Pro-Vice Chancellor Thom Hanahoe, Hertfordshire University
