Vale of Glamorgan Mayor hosts civic service

This year's Vale of Glamorgan Mayor, Cllr A Clive Williams, was joined by political colleagues, civic heads, family and friends for his civic service at All Saints' Church, Penarth.

 

The service was conducted by the Rev Peter Cox, who gave an address, and Cllr Williams was accompanied by the Mayoress, his wife, Gwyneth. The Rev Cox was assisted by the Rev Elaine Evans.

 

The service included lessons read by Vale Chief Executive John Maitland Evans and Cllr Williams' daughter, Zara, and performances by the church choir, Sunday school choir and the Petrus Recorder Group.

 

The service was followed by a reception at Dyffryn Gardens, and Cllr Williams said: "I was delighted that so many people were able to join me at the service. It gave us the opportunity to think about our responsibilities to each other as public servants and as individuals.

 

"On a personal note, Civic Sunday was also a wonderful opportunity for me as mayor to thank colleagues for their support."
