Keeping it in the family – student engineer follows in grandfathers' footsteps at Swansea.
When it came to picking where to study, there was only ever one choice for Freddie Williams. He is following in the footsteps of both his grandfathers and enjoying life at Swansea University.
Not only is he at the same institution but has also just started on the same course as his very proud grandad Handel Williams who graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering 61 years ago.
Handel, now 83, was delighted to see Freddie in his new surroundings when he returned to Swansea for a 1960s Alumni Reunion with fellow former students.

Cadw'r traddodiad yn y teulu - myfyriwr peirianneg yn dilyn y traddodiad teuluol yn Abertawe.
Pan oedd yn dewis ble i astudio, dim ond un dewis oedd i Freddie Williams. Mae'n dilyn olion traed ei ddau dad-cu ac yn mwynhau bywyd ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe.
Mae'n astudio yn yr un sefydliad ond mae hefyd newydd ddechrau astudio'r un cwrs â'i dad-cu balch, Handel Williams, a raddiodd gyda gradd mewn peirianneg fecanyddol 61 mlynedd yn ôl.
Roedd Handel, sydd nawr yn 83 oed, wrth ei fodd i weld Freddie yn ei amgylchedd newydd pan ddychwelodd i Abertawe ar gyfer aduniad gyda chyn-fyfyrwyr eraill.
