I attended with my Mayoress and Attendant a service of Evensong at Reading Minster on 5 September to mark the 10th Anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. This service was organised by the Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire, Philip Wroughton and the Bishop of Reading, the Rt. Reverend Stephen Cottrell officiated, assisted by the Archdeacon of Berkshire and the Area Dean of Reading.
The service itself was relatively short but moving and at the conclusion of his sermon, Bishop Cottrell intimated that perhaps any further speculations on her life and death should be put aside and to allow her to rest in peace. Amen to that.
The service was well attended by the Chairmen of the Unitary Authorities as well as the Mayors of the towns in Berkshire and I was both honoured and pleased to have represented the Town of Newbury on this important occasion.
