Janey Godley’s daughter has taken to Instagram to announce her mother has received the honorary doctorate degree from the University of Glasgow.
Posting from Janey’s account, Ashley Storrie gushed over how ‘immensely proud’ she is of the terminally ill Scots comedian who was seen holding up her degree from her hospice bed.
BBC Radio Scotland host Ashley, 38, captioned the post: “Thank you @uofglasgow for bestowing upon my mum the honorary degree of doctor of the University of Glasgow.
“This has brought her so much joy in the final beats of her life. Janey is so honoured, and I am so immensely proud of her. I am always proud of her. Congratulations Doctor Godley.
“Thank you for all your kindness and support to our family in this very difficult time, @ashleystorrie “.
Janey, 63, is currently receiving end of life care in the Prince and Princess of Wales hospice at Bellahouston Park after her ovarian cancer sadly spread to other parts of her body.
The Glasgow-born star thanked the hospice in the comments section as she wrote: “Thank you @ppwhospice for making this day special and beautiful for our family”.
Fans took to the comments to congratulate Janey for her huge achievement. One replied: “Doctor Godley for the win! Congratulations.”
Someone else wrote: “Dr Janey Godley. It has a certain ring. So proud of you Janey. Holding you close.” A third added: “Deservedly so, Dr Godley.”
Janey announced the news of her terminal diagnosis in a heartbreaking social media post last month. Since then, she has been keeping fans updated with regular posts and visitor snaps from the Glasgow based hospice.
