The Mayor of Knowsley

Each year, the elected members of the council choose a mayor for the coming year. The Mayor represents Knowsley at public events and ceremonies as well as civic events in other towns, cities and countries.

Guidance for Mayoral events

The Worshipful the Mayor shall have precedence within the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley subject only to the presence of Her Majesty the Queen or a representative of Her Majesty.

  • The person responsible for any event should meet the Mayor at the entrance on arrival and should introduce him to the host or the assembled company.
  • When the Mayor is formally announced, those present will be asked to stand.
  • Unless the Mayor occupies the Chair, he should be seated on the immediate right of the person presiding.
  • Except for an introduction, unless otherwise agreed, it is usual practice that the Mayor should be the first speaker.
  • When greeting the Mayor, he should be welcomed with a hand-shake and addressed as ‘Mr Mayor’.
