Wem community champion thrilled to receive invitation to palace garden party
A community stalwart of Wem said she was absolutely thrilled to receive an invite to a Coronation Garden Party.
Pauline Dee, who was awarded a British Empire Medal in King Charles' first New Year's Honours List for her contribution to the community, will be accompanied by her son, Julian, to Buckingham Palace on May 9.
Mrs Dee was the first woman mayor of Wem, taking on the role three times.
She was also a North Shropshire borough councillor and a Shropshire councillor and was awarded the title of Alderman in 2009 and a townsman of Wem last year.
"I was absolutely thrilled to have been invited. It will be King Charles' first garden party after the Coronation, which is very special," she said.
"All I have done it what I felt able to do for Wem over the years."
