The last citizenship ceremony of the year saw a record number of applicants, at least during my year of office, with twenty-six people to be sworn in.
Of those twenty six, ten of them were originally from Germany, an indication perhaps of the insecurity that many European citizens living here are feeling as a result of Brexit.
As usual, the Deputy Lieutenant, High Sheriff and I made speeches about our respective roles, welcoming the new citizens and giving them a token gift from the City.
