DURHAM University chancellor Sir Peter Ustinov was presented with a prize-winning photograph of himself yesterday.
Sir Peter, who was at Durham Cathedral for the university's final summer graduation ceremonies, received the gift from Mike Urwin, photographer with The Northern Echo.
Mr Urwin took the photograph when the veteran actor was attending a Unicef event in Durham, two-and-a-half years ago, and had the idea of asking him to peep round a door.
The resulting picture - in which half Sir Peter's body is masked by the huge door, won Mr Urwin the titles of UK Press Gazette Photographer of the Year, BT News Photographer of the Year and North-East Photographer of the Year.
He said: "I hadn't seen him since I took the picture so I wanted to say thank you for indulging me and give him a framed copy.
"He was chuffed to bits and said it would go in a place of honour.
"He also signed another copy for me and drew a picture of himself with a caption saying 'Mike of the Eagle Eye'."
