University Of Cumbria Alumni

Cedric Robinson MBE and University of Cumbria Honorary Fellow is retiring from the post of The Queen's Guide to the Sands after 56 years. We fondly remember when he led our staff, students and alumni on our own charity walk across the Morecambe Bay in 2015, such a memorable occasion.
