Does Birkbeck do in-person graduation for flexi/distance MA students?

Hi all I am considering changing my application from Durham (in person) to Birkbeck (flexi or distance) for my MA in History. I love where I work currently and living in suitable accommodation (I am disabled) is going to be extremely expensive which is why I am considering Birkbeck instead, so I don't have to completely uproot everything.
My undergraduate graduation ceremony was completely ruined by inaccessibility from my former university (Chichester) and I was so upset because it was my special day. The entire thing was a **** show and even in the photographs taken I look quite upset and stressed out because I was so unsupported.
Obviously it won't completely influence my decision but I am curious to know if I would have a 'traditional' graduation ceremony if I did flexi/distance at Birkbeck because I would love a second chance at my special day. Does anyone happen to know, I tried contacting their grad team but no response.
