This evening Abingdon Town Council elected a new Mayor. The gallery of previous mayors are in Old Abbey House. The ceremony to install the Mayor took place before an audience collected at the Guildhall at 7 PM.

This year Peter Green (pictured) became the Mayor. Peter is a retired RAF man who settled in Abingdon twenty years ago. He already devotes a lot of time to Abingdon. His wife Hilary Green was the Mayor three years ago. Peter said he is green by name and green by nature (environmentally).
