Celebration for Emma Thompson's adopted son

Ben Bailey12 April 2012

The adopted son of actors Emma Thompson and Greg Wise graduated from university today.

Tindyebwa Agaba was 16-years-old when he moved to the UK and was adopted by the couple after meeting them at a Refugee Council party.

The 22-year-old graduated from the University of Exeter, Devon and his adoptive parents witnessed him being presented with his 2.1 (hons) degree in Politics by the university's Chancellor, Dr Floella Benjamin OBE.

From September he plans to go to the School of Oriental and African Studies in London to pursue his MA in Human Rights Law.

Mr Agaba said: "I admit I found my first year very difficult, the second year was less difficult and the third year was an absolute blast.

"So in a nutshell I've been from hell to heaven in three years."
