These last two days have seen me fulfilling the Civic duty part of being a councillor. Yesterday being the 11th November I was invited to attend the Remembrance Ceremony at the Lincoln War Memorial on the High Street. It lasted for around half an hour, and I stood fully gowned with the other councillors in front of all the shoppers who had taken time to stop and remember. Today I was invited to attend the Remembrance Service at Lincoln Cathedral. The Cathedral was filled with ex and current service men and women, as well as family and members of the public. Any event at the Cathedral is always lovely and well set, and being a councillor I got front row seats this year.
Next on the list of Civic duties are the Christmas lights switch-on this Thursday and the opening of the famous Christmas Market next month.
