Our Hillary donned academic regalia once again today to take part in an historic ceremony.
Clinton joins historic procession
Former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton has taken part in a historic procession before she receives an honorary degree from one of the UK’s oldest universities.
Mrs Clinton will be giving the graduation address later at a ceremony to mark the 600th anniversary of the founding of St Andrews University.
It is the politician’s first foreign visit since her term as secretary of state ended in February.
She arrived in the picturesque Fife coastal town yesterday and will be conferred with a doctor of laws degree in recognition of her achievements as a politician and diplomat.
Mrs Clinton will receive the doctorate from the veteran Liberal Democrat politician and chancellor of St Andrews, Sir Menzies Campbell.
Interestingly the university was founded By Avignon Antipope Benedict XIII.

The University of St Andrews’ 600th Anniversary Honorary Graduation Ceremony is a celebration of intellectual achievement, recognising some of the brightest minds of the 21st Century.
She looked so young and pretty that she could have been mistaken for an undergrad!
Congratulations, Mme. Secretary! It is such a pleasure to see you so honored!
And from Hillary herself….
