Two iconic Oxfordshire institutions celebrated their centenary over the weekend.
Hertford Bridge, popularly known as the Bridge of Sighs, celebrated its 100th birthday.
And Hertford College marked the occasion with a special cake and invited a Union Jack Mini from the Cowley Plant – where staff are also enjoying their centenary celebrations.
Hertford Bridge links the two parts of Hertford College over New College Lane. Its distinctive design makes it a city landmark.
Rebecca Baxter, external communications manager at Mini Plant Oxford, said: “This is a landmark year for Oxford with two centenaries – one celebrating 100 years of car making in the city and the other the anniversary of the Bridge of Sighs.
“The two sum up Oxford’s rich industrial and academic heritage.”
