Is it very emotional on the day (for parents) 
Just been watching a short online clip and filled up just watching it and it was from last yr.
My son graduates the end of July and i have got a lot of stress at the moment with family illness and I feel tearful and emotional.
I am dreading filling up and really crying at the ceremony, as well as watching my son and feeling so proud I know all other emotions will get mixed up with it. Don't want to look slightly neurotic. ;-)
Is it more a joyful event? Do other people cry (they must do) or someone tell me there is a pill you can take that will stop all emotion for a few hours so you can remain in control and not have smeared make up when having your picture taken afterwards.

So if its a large number arranged alphabetically by subject and then alphabetically by name...and your son did zoology and your name is Zebedee chances are you will be asleep by the time it gets to his turn anyway.
Congratulations to your son
When we went to my son's Passing Out parade (RAF) last year, we all sat waiting for them to appear, cameras in hand, big smiles on faces. As soon as they appeared round the cornef every last person there burst into tears! Including some Dads who were in uniform because they were already serving. Wondefful day.
Im a university lecturer and always go to graduation to support my students - i always feel immense pride for them, and for their parents. My colleague and I always wolf whistle when our course is announced and loudly applaud every single one of them. It is always great meeting the students and parents afterwards and helping them to celebrate.
Just enjoy yourself, celebrate and feel proud - cry tears of joy if you want to - lots of other people will be too - including lecturers. You have every right to feel proud.
This is a lovely post.
That will bring a tear to your eye!
Go, cry with all the other Mums, be proud and enjoy
Pictures before.....thank goodness for that. One less worry.
I know I will sob a lot. Sometimes I can just feel a bit teary and it turns into mass hysteria.
Congratulations to all who are graduating or who have already.
Yes because that is what every single student is like /sarcasm.
Most graduations seem to be in July but mine is in late November.
I'm hoping the ceremony won't be boring and too long. I've been told these things take time!
How frequently does a day in your life come along when you can be proud of yourself and your Mum and Dad can look on with parental adoration? Enjoy it or it'll only be your parents who will.
Fair enough it'll probably be fine:)
Can't wait to celebrate with my family.
Congratulations. Hope you all have a wonderful day.
Have a fantastic day.
Hope you had a fabulous time today, congratulations
