Bias for my university aside, De Montfort did an amazing job of the whole Royal event. Everything seemed to be organised perfectly, and everyone knew what was going on and when. A few things to highlight..
- The social media side was handled really well with #royaldmu hashtag being implemented and used more than a week before the event.
- Everything was spotless - the cleaners deserve awards and a bonus!
- Daily emails to staff and students was a great insight and made the whole university feel a part of the event.
- Branding on the bunting, flags, programmes, invites were all uniform.
- Free stuff for students (mass hurrah!) included flags, programmes, breakfasts and bucket loads of entertainment.
The photos below are the from the hours prior to the moment the Queen and Kate walked through the doors I walk through everyday (insane!). We got treated to three different and very cold dance groups and a Gospel choir that same 'Oh Happy Day' to us! In terms of crowd numbers, I'd predict that around 500-600 people showed up. 6am get up and five hours of waiting was SO worth it.
