Mayor's civic service part of busy weekend for the town
Oswestry Mayor, Councillor Mark Jones, held his civic church service at St Oswald's, the town's parish church, last weekend.
Councillor Jones and Mayoress, Ruth Jones, were joined by the Mayors of Ellesmere, Wem and Ludlow and the Deputy Mayor from Market Drayton for the service as well as the MP for North Shropshire, Owen Paterson.
Past mayors of Oswestry also attended as did some of those who have been granted the title Freeman of the town over the years.
Councillor Jones said it had been a though provoking and personal service.
"I would like to thank the Church Community of St Oswald's for welcoming us and for making it a very memorable occasion for my family and I. I was pleased to welcome our MP, the Freemen of the Town, my Chaplain, current councillors and past mayors and representatives from community groups."
It was a busy weekend for the town which also hosted the popular Food and Drink festival, Heritage Open Days, TNS in the Park on Saturday and Global Grooves in the Park on Sunday.
