This afternoon we were at St Mary's Church for a special evensong to mark the retirement of the current Lord Lieutenant of West Glamorgan.
The Lord Lieutenant of West Glamorgan is Mr D. Byron Lewis who was appointed in May 2008 by Her Majesty The Queen following the retirement of Commodore Sir Robert Hastie who had served as Lord Lieutenant for thirteen years.
The compulsory retirement age for Lord Lieutenants is 75, which means that Byron and his wife, Hilary will step down on his birthday on 14th February. No announcement of his successor has yet been made.
There will be a number of other events to mark this retirement over the next 12 days, including a royal visit and a dinner and a lunch.
