Overview

• Jonny Clothier, 62, completed his architecture degree in 1983 but was denied graduation over a £64.80 unpaid bill caused by a parrot's damage.
• The University of Bristol abolished the rule preventing graduation for unpaid bills and allowed Clothier to graduate with his son Carter.
• Clothier's entire family has now graduated from the University of Bristol, with his wife and three children also being alumni.
• Clothier, who left architecture for a TV career, is now working on a net-zero treehouse project.
• The graduation ceremony was described as a unique and memorable experience for both Jonny and Carter.
