De Montfort University (DMU) footwear design students Becka Hunt and Hannah Binns were invited to take part in London’s annual pageant for the Lord Mayor’s Show televised by the BBC.

Hunt, 21, from Peterborough was the winner of the competition to design footwear for The Duchess of Cambridge, who in early March visited DMU’s campus with Queen Elizabeth II at the start of the Diamond Jubilee Tour of the UK.

Fellow DMU Footwear Design student Hannah Binns was also invited to participate. The 20-year old Wirral, Merseyside native won a prestigious placement with GAP in New York last summer.
