Cookery expert Mary Berry has become president of a new association for former students of Bath Spa University.
The Great British Bake Off presenter's new role is with the Bath Spa University Alumni Association, which aims to provide support to former students and help ensure the friendships and contacts created while at the campus continue to develop long after graduation.
The 77-year-old who attended the old Bath High School trained at what was Bath College of Domestic Science, which is a predecessor of the university, followed by a Cordon Bleu course in Paris.
She has written more than 70 cookery books since 1970 and been a judge on The Great British Bake Off since 2010.
She was awarded an honorary degree by the university earlier this year.
She said: "My time at Bath College of Domestic Science was wonderful and gave me a good start to my career. It is inspiring to hear about the achievements of other alumni and I look forward to welcoming many more of them to the association."
Vice-chancellor Professor Christina Slade said: "Bath Spa University has a long history and we are proud of the many illustrious, talented and inspiring individuals who have been part of our story. The new alumni association is a way for friends, old and new, to come together to share their experiences of Bath Spa and help shape the university's future."
