A FORMER pupil of King’s Ely had a double reason to celebrate when she graduated from the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester.

As well as achieving a 2.1 BSc (Hons) degree in property agency and marketing, Lilli Hines was awarded a prize for being the top student.

Lilli, 21, who lives in Ely, is now studying for a masters degree in marketing and innovation at the Lord Ashcroft Business School in Cambridge.

Congratulating Lilli on her achievement Professor Chris Gaskell, Royal Agricultural College principal, said: “This is a well deserved award for Lilli in recognition of all her hard work during her time at the RAD and I wish her every success for the future.”
