After crossing Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France, he took a ferry across the English Channel. Jablonska arrived at Portsmouth University just hours before the graduation ceremony to see his 23-year-old daughter Monika awarded a Bachelor’s in International Business Studies. “I wanted to do this because I was so proud of my daughter,” the proud father said. His 50-year-old wife Ewa joined him, making the journey by car. IANS
