Congratulations to Councillor Neal Francis

On Wednesday 9th May I as Chair of Resolven Community Council along with my wife, Joy, I had the honour of being invited to a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.

It was an amazing experience and it was also a beautiful sunny day.

We were also lucky enough to be introduced to the King where he asked me which Community Council I was Chair of and that it must be a tough job to which I replied that it could be hard at times but it was a very rewarding experience helping the community. He said that a piece of his heart would forever be in Wales and to pass his regards onto the community in Resolven..

The picture attached of the gentleman in the kilt is the of “The Kings Piper” He was the person who played “The Last Lament” at Her Late Majesty’s funeral at St George’s Chapel, Windsor.

Joy and I both had a truly magical day which we will never forget.

Neal Francis
