Most Lord Mayor's hold a civic service where, along with other civic heads, councillors, the Lord Lieutenant, High Sheriff, invited guests, and members of the local community, get together to give thanks for the many good things that grace Swansea and for the Mayoralty itself.
I am not aware if any other civic service having been held in Manselton, certainly in the 35 years I have been a councillor, and for a number of years before that, we have not done so. It was a pleasure therefore to bring this event to my local community.
It was also a pleasure to be able to include two of the local schools in the event. At my inauguration back in May, Burlais Primary School sang for us in the chamber. Today, the fabulous choirs from Brynhyfryd Primary School and Pentrehafod Comprehensive School entertained us.
It was a lovely afternoon, topped off with lunch at the Liberty Stadium for the invited guests and civic heads.
