FRY RECEIVES HONORARY DOCTORATE
British actor STEPHEN FRY was made an honorary doctor by a British university on Friday (28Jan11) in recognition of his charity work.
The funnyman was awarded the degree in front of 1,000 students at the University of Sussex in honour of his work campaigning for patients suffering with bipolar disorder, mental health problems and HIV.
He donned the traditional cap and gown to attend a graduation ceremony at the English campus, where he told the crowd he "couldn’t be happier or prouder".
He later took to his Twitter.com page to express his delight at his latest achievement, writing in a series of posts: "Emerged from Sussex Uni graduation. My 4th honorary doctorate. You’ll have to address me as Dr Dr Dr Dr Fry from now on.
"It was a wonderful ceremony… The atmos (atmosphere) was great. Feel very honoured but mustn’t accept any more I feel."
