Battle Mayor presents Jubilee mugs to schoolchildren
BATTLE mayor Cllr Ron Harris, accompanied by Cllr Paula Fisher, visited Netherfield and Battle and Langton Primary schools last week to present all the children with souvenir mugs to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
The presentation was Cllr Harris’ last civic duty before a new mayor was elected.
The mugs were provided by Battle Town Council, perpetuating a long-standing tradition of giving schoolchildren a souvenir of significant events in the life of the country.
