If Throwback Thursday is still a thing, how about this pic from a day like today, right before Freshers' Weekend, taken in 2019? Note there is no yellow crane framing the river by @clarecollege? 😉

Looking back at last weekend's 50th reunion, which saw 60 members of that very special Class of 1972 come back to King's for a day packed with talks, tours, music, an exhibition and lots of catching up over hot drinks and nice food. Thank you to everyone who came along - we hope to see you again very soon at the various events marking the 50th anniversary of the admission of women as undergraduate students. #womenatkings

A very special anniversary reunion is taking place today, marking 50 years since the arrival of the first women as undergraduate students. Welcome back, Class of 1972! Watch this space for more images of the day.

A service of Choral Evensong to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the accession to the throne of King Charles III will take place in King’s College Chapel on Tuesday, 20 September. "We are glad to be able to offer this opportunity for members of the College and the City alike to come together not only in reflection and remembrance but also in thanksgiving and hope" says the Dean of King's College Chapel. More information on the College website, under 'News'- link in bio. @cambridgeuniversity

The College is deeply saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. We extend our deepest sympathy to her family and pay tribute to a life of devoted public service.

The King's wildflower meadow, 108 bales later. The Gardens team, helped by gardeners from @trincollcam and their reliable Alpine baler, did a fantastic job yesterday! 😊

It's been a busy summer for Raina, Eddie, Louis, Elizabeth and Anmona. They are some of the 35 undergraduates who have taken part in this year's Summer Research Programme, aimed at providing students in the early years of their degree the chance to gain hands-on research experience across both the sciences and the arts and humanities by working with King's Fellows and College Research Associates on focused research projects over the summer vacation. Raina says: "I am so grateful to be working at the Kozik Lab, at the @mrc_lmb, under the guidance of Patrycja Krawczyk on cross-presentation in dendritic cells. Pati has been such an amazing mentor, introducing me to a career in research and teaching me various lab techniques I can utilise in the future." We're looking forward to hearing more about their projects at the Research Showcase event in October.

Day 3 of the harvest over, with the Shire horses helping cart the hay ahead of the long bank holiday weekend. Thank you all for making this harvest another memorable one: Cosmo and Boy (the stars of the show); farmers Dave, John and Toby from Waldburg Shires; gardeners from many Cambridge colleges; and spectators of all ages who loved watching the horses in action and petting them during their breaks. Now for the baling... 😊

Getting ready for Day 3 of the harvest, with the mist making the carting of the hay even more atmospheric!

Finally some rain... Luckily Day 2 of the meadow harvest is done and dusted. The crew from Waldburg Shires with 8-year-old Cosmo did all the turning of the hay yesterday in the sun, and will return tomorrow with their traditional wain. @kingscollegevisitorcentre captured Day 2 pretty well and we are sure they will also be back tomorrow. 😊

Day 1 of the harvest: Shire horses Cosmo and Boy from Waldburg Shires stables helped cut the wildflower meadow in record time, and brought students, staff, Fellows, visitors, local photographers and gardeners from all Colleges together on this very special third of the Great Lawn. (They will be back tomorrow to turn the hay before it is carted and baled)😊 #wildlifeofkings #cambridgecollegegardens
