and for the Lord Mayor's Consort:
and for the Lord Mayor's Consort:
The Lord Mayor's Consort (Mr Roger Bird)
Precedence
The Local Government Acts provide that the Lord Mayor shall have precedence in all places in the City, except when either the Lord Lieutenant or a member of the Royal Family is present.
Accordingly, in any seating arrangement, except when the Lord Mayor occupies the Chair, the place reserved for the Lord Mayor should be on the immediate right of the person presiding.
Where the Deputy Lord Mayor (Councillor Graham Oxley) is acting on behalf of the Lord Mayor, he should be accorded the precedence of the Lord Mayor.
Reception
The responsible person should meet the Lord Mayor at the entrance on arrival and introduce her to the Host.
The Lord Mayor will usually be accompanied by a Chauffeur/Attendant who is required to remain on duty within easy call by the Lord Mayor.
Speeches
If the Lord Mayor is required to speak at any function, except for an introduction, it is normal for her to be the first speaker or associated with the first toast, and her consent to speak should be sought well in advance.
All relevant information concerning the event should be supplied to the Assistant to the Lord Mayor together with details of any activity involving the Lord Mayor, for her agreement.
