The shit I read attributed to "health and safety" are just ridiculous.

Each student must pay £8($11.67), to have the photo altered? A photo altered?
UEA has 11,445 undergrads, and 4820 postgrads, so it's safe to say probably 2500 in the graduating class.
Suppose 500 say fuck it, that leaves 2,000 x £8 = £16,000($23,340).
Now with 2500 graduating, I figure 3 guests per grad is reasonable, 2500 + 7500 = 10,000 plus a couple hundred staff. All these people have to travel at least a short distance, and some quite far. Nobody is walking there, which means the chances of some those people being injured, even a couple killed, traveling to the ceremony is quite high.
If "health and safety" was really at play, they would mail the fucking diplomas.
