Sir Robert Easton is shown here wearing the robes of the University Chancellor and the neck decoration of a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. This gown is made from red Paisley brocade with a square collar at the back edged with gold lace. Each sleeve is trimmed, above and below the sleeve opening with gold ornaments of a traditional pattern.
