It&#8217;s hard to believe that the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/centenary-ceremony-9-july-2007\/\">Imperial College Centenary<\/a> was all those years ago, during the whole of 2007. At the end of that year, Sir Richard Sykes then the college Rector (seen on the right when the Queen visited in 2007), gave his summary of how things went.<\/p>\n<p>We shot this video in the Rector&#8217;s office in the Faculty Building. Incidentally, Richard was a dab-hand at reading from Autocue and that always made our job so much easier and quicker too. Hannah Gay, who wrote the official college history, also talks about the task of creating the 900 page book.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gk0Xr8dSBY0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p><strong>Colin Grimshaw June 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of 2007, the then Rector Sir Richard Sykes summed up the whole of the college&#8217;s centenary year&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[18461,53,80],"tags":[603,161,18469,438],"class_list":["post-7569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-college-history","category-events","category-people","tag-administration","tag-buildings","tag-centenary","tag-rector"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
