A 50-YEAR friendship was celebrated at this year’s annual Civic Sunday Service.
The new Mayor of Warrington, Cllr Karen Mundry invited everyone from across town to join her at the service, which took place on Sunday.
Held each year in Warrington to celebrate the inauguration of the new Mayor, this year’s event also marked the 50th anniversary of Warrington’s twinning with the city of Hilden in Germany.
In celebration of the landmark, the Mayor of Hilden, Birgit Alkenings, joined the Mayor of Warrington at the service.
The Mayor welcomed all those who had involvement or a connection with Hilden over the years, so they could share their stories.
The annual Civic Sunday Service was led by The Rev Paul Wilson, Rector of Warrington,
Hilden is a city in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. With approximately 57,000 inhabitants, it is the fourth largest city in the District of Mettmann.
