Lots of the well-known faces honoured by Sheffield Hallam University and The University of Sheffield have local links or have contributed to the life of the city. Our pictures celebrate just a few of them.
Congratulations to all students at both universities who have completed their own courses in such tough times. We hope some of you are inspired to stay in the city!
