Colonel James Royds attended the final engagement of his year of office as High Sheriff of Northumberland where it began, in Hexham Abbey, with his wife Camilla and Chaplain Canon Alan Hughes and Mrs Susan Hughes.
They were invited as guests of honour to spend the weekend with 3 Regiment Royal Horse Artillery at a commemorative service in the Abbey, followed by a Gala Dinner in The Regimental Mess at Albemarle Barracks.
James said “I have had a most privileged and enjoyable year visiting and revisiting amazing people and organisations making a positive difference to their communities.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Northumberland Gazette for its support over my year and wish my successor Diana Barkes strength and joy in her year.”
