Truro City Mayor Making Ceremony Steven Webb 2021/2022
These photographs are from the 1st Mayor-making ceremony in Truro Cathedral, held in 2021, when I became the Mayor of Truro for the first time. As you can see, the event was very formal. My haircut hadn’t been touched due to Covid-19 restrictions, and I was wearing a waistcoat for the first time in many years. In the rush to buy it in the days leading up to the ceremony, I had to get my sister to adjust it.
It was a remarkable day when everyone voted unanimously to make me Mayor of Truro. My main proposer, Rob Nolan, delivered a wonderful speech, and I hope I made Truro and the rest of my fellow councillors proud. I was sworn in alongside my deputy mayor, Councillor Karlene Stokes. In the photos, you can also see Councillor Biscoe, the outgoing mayor; Roger Gazzard, the town clerk; and Kember Webb, my daughter, who served as my Mayoress for the year.
I don’t think I’ve ever been as nervous as I was that evening. Social distancing measures were in place to a degree, and although we took photos afterward, they were cleverly done to maintain a distancing perspective. I would like to extend my thanks to PR4Photos for their skilful work on the photos.
