The 63-year-old rock veteran will be awarded with an honorary Doctor of Arts for his services to music from Anglia Ruskin University which has campuses in Cambridge and Chelmsford.

Alongside Gilmour, sweaty comedian Lee Evans will also be given a Doctor of Arts, while retired army General Richard Dannatt will be presented with a Doctor of Technology.

Gilmour and co. will receive their honours next month.
