All Good Things Must Come to an End; An Amazing Year that has left me Humbled and Enlightened!
Tomorrow I hand over the role of High Sheriff of Surrey to Joosje Hamilton, who will become the 805thperson to hold this ancient office.
It has been a privilege to represent the King in the County this past year. I have undertaken some 400 engagements, meeting many inspiring people in my role supporting the Judiciary and all who uphold the King’s Peace, together with those working for charities or volunteering; and I have been left humbled and enlightened by the experience. I finish my year with a much stronger belief in the strength of our local community and the goodness in our society than when I took office.
I would like to thank everyone I have encountered for their dedication and purpose; and for helping to make this past year so revelatory, life-affirming and memorable. Here are just a few of the many great memories of this past year.
