On arrival at St Nicholas Church, the councillors will be met by scout and guiding groups who will form a guard of honour at the entrance.

Schools have banded together to form a joint choir for the occasion and sing to the congregation as the service begins at 2pm.

This service this year will be led by the Rt. Rev. David Farrer.

St Nicholas Church choir will sing at the service in front of a church full of civic dignitaries, residents and family and friends of the young people taking part.

A reception at the town hall will conclude the event.
