Emma Lewis, campus community officer at the university, said: “The event was brilliantly attended and it was great to see people of all ages joining our anniversary celebrations by having fun and taking part.

“The falconry display was a definite highlight of the day.

“The birds of prey were beautiful.

“Another fun event was the ‘dog flyball’ challenge, where rescue dogs competed against each other around an assault course.
