Down to the civic centre this afternoon to join the High Sheriff and the Deputy Lieutenant for another citizenship ceremony.
Today there were 12 people being sworn in as British citizens, including three from the EU - Greece, Bulgaria and France. It is a sign of the uncertain times we live in that EU citizens feel, for whatever reason, that they need to secure their right to stay in the UK by acquiring British citizenship.
As usual the three representatives of the Queen, the City and the Judiciary all spoke and there were lots of photographs. It is always a lovely service and a pleasure to participate in it.
