Find out why Sir David Baulcombe chose to arrive by Brompton Bicycle for his installation as the 41st Master of Trinity.

And who better to mark the occasion with than the inventor of the Brompton, Trinity alumnus Andrew Ritchie.

To mark the special day, a bespoke bike helmet was created for them both by Dashel Cycle Helmets featuring Trinity's striking colours.

The only thing missing was the colours of the Master’s home city football team Aston Villa FC!

Celebrating 100 years of everyone's favourite bear!

A century ago, Trinity alumnus A.A. Milne's first Winnie-the-Pooh book was published. 🐻 🍯

Trinity's Librarian Dr Nicolas Bell examines the original manuscript which was bequeathed to the Wren Library by Milne- which is always on display alongside Newton's Principia!

Speaking to BBC Radio Cambridgeshire this afternoon, Dr Bell said: 'So many people across the world not just in this country have grown to love Winnie-the-Pooh, it's one of those wonderful children's stories that resonates in different ways at different times in your life.'

'What we have is his original hand-written text of Winnie-the-Pooh, which he then sent off to be published. It was printed exactly 100 years ago today.'

A.A. Milne came to Trinity on a scholarship to study maths but loved writing - he edited the student magazine Granta - and playing football and cricket.

📸 Pictured in Trinity Field Club Football team photographs between 1901-1903, Milne is seen in the middle of the top row and on the far right top row.

Last week Sir David Baulcombe was installed as the 41st Master of Trinity College.

Students, staff and well-wishers gathered beside Great Gate to welcome the Master Elect. In a ceremony dating back centuries, Sir David knocked on the wicket gate three times with a cobble.

After the letters patent were exchanged and were inspected, Great Gate was opened.

Fellows lining the flagstones prepared to doff their caps or bonnets – three times according to tradition – as the Head Porter, Vice-Master and Sir David processed towards the Chapel for the installation service.

Congratulations Sir David! Thank you to the many people involved and the College community who came together to mark this very special Trinity occasion. 👏

Today, Trinity installed its 41st Master of the College, Professor Sir David Baulcombe.

In a tradition dating back centuries, Sir David presented the letters patent signed by His Majesty King Charles III.

On the cobbles beneath Great Gate, dozens of students, staff, well-wishers and a brass band welcomed the Master Elect before the tradition began.

Great Gate was opened to the assembled Fellows, dressed in their black and scarlet regalia, ready to doff their velvet cap or bonnet.

In the service that followed Sir David took his place in the Master’s stall and a Te Deum commissioned from Huw Watkins was sung by The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge
