Day 159 6/12/11 Citizenship Ceremony

It was Rocio's citizenship ceremony today in the council house in the city centre. Unfortunately she was only allowed two guests so that was Michael and me.
We spent ages getting our posh clothes ready and cleaning my wedding hat. Michael wore his linen shirt and christening outfit (as it's very nice and it won't fit him much longer) and he was carried in the manta for best effect.



There was a long queue of new Britons signing in when we got there and a large hall full of people for the ceremony. I didn't realise how many people would be with us. The ceremony was officiated by the Lord Mayor of Nottingham Michael Wildgust. After a long wait for the event to start Rocio and all the others took their turns saying the Oath of Allegiance and the pledge and one by one the new Brits went up to receive their certificates and shake the Mayor's hand. I went up with Rocio and holding Michael and got us into the photo. After that we sang the national anthem. Michael really enjoyed the singing and was singing along at full volume. He is always a real charmer at public events like this. That was it for the ceremony except the tea and biscuits and the scrummage for the photos from the nasty, rude and very slow official photographer. Ten pounds per image and no chance of having the origional files. Here's the scan of the official photo.

  1. Rocio and michael look fantastic, so glad you're using that suit as much as you can, he looks stunning in it. Sounds like it was a good day, can't wait for the photo. Maybe you should report the photographer's attitude if he spoils such a special day for many.
