NEW Mayor of Barnsley Coun Steve Green and his wife Tracey were representing the town at Buckingham Palace this week.
The Mayor and Mayoress attended the Queen’s Garden Party along with other mayors and civic leaders from around the country.
“It was officially the Queen’s Garden Party, but it was actually Prince Charles and Camilla who were hosting it,” he said.
“It was great just to see Buckingham Palace. There were an awful lot of people there, lots of mayors, military personnel and police.
“It was a fantastic experience, one of those things you know you’re not likely to be able to repeat.”
Coun Green, who will celebrate his 60th birthday next month, is retiring after 44 years as a plasterer which will enable him to carry out his duties as mayor between now and next May.
