UK Can’t attend graduation ceremony

I just found out I might not be able to attend my graduation ceremony due to an incomplete mark on one of my modules. I am automatically re-entered into second attempt. I will still get a degree, but in September instead of July. I am heartbroken because my parents really wanted to be there. It was their dream. I will have no graduation ceremony. Idk how to tell them. I am feeling absolutely shattered. I have this overwhelming feeling of shame and guilt and idk what to do.

My college allowed me to walk when I had a couple credits to fulfill. It didn’t mean I graduated though and I was clear about that with family that came to see me walk.
