An absolute honour, not least to use the message my husband shared to them all at the close of my speech. 30 years in the job he loved the most. Congratulations all - a lively & brilliant intake. I look forward to seeing where their journeys take them

An honour to represent His Majesty's Lord Lieutenant @GMLO_UK at today's Citizenship Ceremony at Manchester Registry Office. Congratulations to our new British Citizens who received their Citizenship status today. With thanks to today's Registration Team.
I spent a few hours yesterday at what remains a major incident. Scale of this wildfire is vast. Physically demanding & incredibly challenging environment for my firefighters to work in & they’ve been at this 24/7 for over a week - their professionalism as always is first class🚒
Our crews continue to work tirelessly in extremely challenging conditions as they respond to the moorland fires at Dovestone and Swineshaw.
We would like to thank the gamekeeping community and @unitedutilities as well as @DerbyshireFRS, @LancashireFRS, @HWFire and @SWFireandRescue and all other partners for their continued support as we remain focused on containing the fires, reducing hotspots and preventing further spread across the moorland.

My first engagement today as High Sheriff of Greater Manchester was to join the Ceremonial Mayor & Mayoress of Salford, my colleague Lorraine Worsley-Carter DL representing the Lord-Lieutenant & the City Mayor to mark the start of Armed Forces Week.
Clayton Hall remains closed while renovation works continue, but we’re getting closer to welcoming you back.
Watch this space for details of our grand reopening, hopefully very soon. We can’t wait to share the Hall with visitors again.
