Wednesday night was the Mayor Making in Abingdon. Duncan Brown, the new Mayor is both a Morris Dancer and part-time Fireman, and both were there to help. The morris dancers performed beforehand, and the Firemen helped get signatures for Duncan’s first charity fund raising event which involved throwing himself out of an aeroplane.

This is Duncan with his escourt, Sreeja, after the ceremony, saying goodbye to the ‘Honoured Guests’.

And here he is again with the new deputy mayor whose name escapes me for the moment. By the way Duncan is thirty three years old which seems quite young to me, but not so young as our new MP who is only thirty.

Are our politicians getting younger?
