By 9.30 we are all gathered in St Clements Church Ordsall and Salford Quays. We’re in our home parish and in the place from where we get
our name. It’s raining gently outside and it’s cold for May. Yet, as we’re
reminded later, “It’s a glorious day, despite the weather.”
The warm-up goes well and a few folk who have arrived early are
appreciative.
At ten on the dot the Mayoral party arrives and enters the
church with due ceremony. Peter Dobbs looks splendid in his robes.
