Mr Peter Woods DL is installed as the new High Sheriff of Merseyside

19/4/2018

 
The Lord-Lieutenant of Merseyside, Mr Mark Blundell, presided over the historic ceremony of the installation of the new High Sheriff of Merseyside, Mr Peter Woods DL in the Lutyens Crypt of Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral.  The ceremony and the formal promises the new High Sheriff makes are both rooted in ancient precedent but are also wholly relevant to the High Sheriff's important role today.  Although the High Sheriff's duties are wide ranging, a significant part of the role is to act as Her Majesty the Queen's personal representative for law and order in the county.  The proceedings were conducted by the Under-Sheriff of the Duchy of Lancaster, Mr David Cam DL in front of dignitaries who included the Recorder of Liverpool, His Honour Judge Clement Goldstone, the officiating magistrate, Mr Robert Owen JP DL and two Commissioners, Lady Pilkington MBE DL and Mrs Jean Wotherspoon OBE DL.   The Dean of the Cathedral, Canon Anthony O'Brien welcomed the official party and guests.  Prayers at the conclusion were said by Sister Betty of the Pauline Bookshop, who together with Canon Anthony will be the High Sheriff's Chaplains this year.
