Councillor Castle takes over from Councillor The Reverend Canon Alan Taylor, whose year of office has now ended. Councillor Taylor writes: It has been a great honour to represent the city as Lord Mayor over the last twelve months. The people of Leeds have been extremely kind to me during my term and have helped to raise a substantial amount of money for my chosen charity Voluntary Action Leeds. It has been fantastic to have such an important role in my last year, as a councillor and as Lord Mayor. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I wish Ann all the very best for her year as Lord Mayor.

FOCUS ON………. THE DIAMOND JUBILEE So much is being said, so much written at this very significant time in the reign of our sovereign, Queen Elizabeth.

Looking back over the sixty years of her reign, there have been massive social changes, amazing events and progress in our world, as well as the many, many memories held by us all.

One of the most significant aspects, though, can be linked particularly to our Christian faith at this time of the Christian year. The ‘Gifts of the Spirit’ at Pentecost are love, happiness, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self-control and faithfulness.

Above all, Queen Elizabeth has displayed enormous faithfulness to her role. She has been able to appeal to all sectors of society and it is certainly acknowledged that she has served our country with utterly selfless devotion. We give thanks for this example of the spirit’s gifts and pray for her as she continues in her role.

‘In this year of jubilee, grant her your gifts of love and joy and peace as she continues in faithful obedience to you, her Lord and God’ Ann Nicholl
