Councillor Eamon Parkin The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Ripon It is my great honour as Mayor to invite you all to celebrate with us as we mark the momentous occasion of the Platinum Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Ripon has a long association with our Royal family and we have welcomed them here many times in recent decades. I am sure that everyone has seen the wonderful work of Ripon Community Poppy Project in the displays around the city. I know you will join me in thanking the knitters and volunteers who have worked so hard to make this happen. We are really grateful to RCPP who have arranged the beacon and national element on Thursday evening, as well as the Sunday event. We hope you enjoy what the City has to offer on this very special weekend.
Councillor Andrew Williams Chairman of Ripon City Council’s Event Committee I would like to thank the staff at Ripon City Council for their hard work and support in helping to deliver what I hope will be a memorable event for everyone. We have tried our very best to ensure that there is something for everyone, so whether you are three or a hundred and three, there is something for you. We are even providing 250 seats on the Market Square during the day. Please come along and join in the celebrations.
