The image captures a significant moment in the town's history - the induction of its new Mayor, Rhona Foster, and her deputy, Roger Blount. Standing proudly on the Town Quay with Fowey's charming harbor as their backdrop, Mayor Foster and Deputy Blount exude an air of dignity and civic responsibility. The regalia worn by these esteemed dignitaries is truly remarkable. Mayor Foster dons a magnificent chain of office that symbolizes her authority and leadership within the community. Her bicorn hat adds an elegant touch to her ensemble while paying homage to Cornish tradition. Deputy Blount stands alongside her with equal poise and grace. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully captures this historic moment, preserving it for generations to come.
