Internationally-acclaimed singer PJ Harvey dropped into Goldsmiths this week to pick up her honorary degree.
The normally reclusive musician - who has bagged the Mercury Music Prize twice - arrived at New Cross along with fellow honorands like human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell.
Also awarded were architect Dame Zaha Hadid, cartoonist Martin Rowson and the poet George Szirte.
Goldsmith registrar Liz Bromley said: "Our honorands this year are a remarkable group of people. They have changed communities through their inspiring architectural designs.
"They have pointed out the ridiculous in the news and made us laugh. They have inspired us with their words, their music, and their art. They have fought for our rights. And they have helped us to understand who we are now by looking to the past."
