A GROUP of dedicated local residents recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours List were invited to meet the Mayor of Solihull this month.
The nine recipients were asked to attend afternoon tea at one of two events held at the Mayor's Parlour.
Among the guests were Janet Down, the chief executive of Chelmsley Wood-based charity Solihull Life Opportunities (SoLO), Darrilyn Downes, a former teacher at Forest Oak School, Smith's Wood, Amanda Mordey, the principal of the same school and Ellen Delaney, who was honoured for services to Fordbridge.
Speaking after the event, the Mayor, Coun Stuart Davis, said: "It was a pleasure to meet such inspirational people from across the borough who have given so much to their communities.
"After spending an afternoon in their company it is clear why they have received such high accolades."
