"With 18 years as an MP and AM, I have worked very closely with the university and of course in the Anglesey constituency I am AM for now, I work closely with the ocean sciences depart-ment," said Mr Jones..

Former Bangor graduate Prof Herbert Wilson, an original team member on the pioneering DNA programme, was also given a fellowship.

The 76-year-old, who lives in Stirling, Scotland, said: "It is a tremendous honour."

Other notables who were honoured included National Eisteddfod director Elfed Roberts, consultant physician Olwen Williams OBE and environment minister Carwyn Jones AM.

University vice chancellor Prof Merfyn Jones said: "We are pleased to award honorary fellowships to individuals who have made a distinguished contribution in their chosen fields, and who have a strong link with the university or with Wales.

"An honorary fellowship is the highest honour that we can bestow, and we are delighted to be able to welcome 12 new fellows this year."

Beach Boys member Bruce Johnston was also at the university yesterday to see his son Ozzie receive a PhD in electro-acoustic composition. Ieuan Wyn Jones (left) and Catrin Finch received honorary fellowships at a Bangor university ceremony yesterday Pictures: RICHARD WILLIAMS
