Plymouth College Preparatory school pupils paid a visit to the Council House yesterday to meet the Lord Mayor of Plymouth, Councillor Mary Aspinall.
Encompassing the Citizenship element of their PSHE programme, the Year 6 children gathered in the Lord Mayor's Parlour where she spoke to them about her life as Lord Mayor and the history of the position.
The Lord Mayor showed them some of the Civic Regalia including maces, robes and chains of office. They also had a tour of the Council Chamber.
"It was a fascinating morning", said headmaster, Chris Gatherer. "The children were very excited to meet the Lord Mayor and were asking her lots of questions. A particular highlight was having a closer look at the robes and chains of office."
