Redditch Community Relations Council chairman and former town mayor Madge Tillsley said that Her Excellency was very impressed on her first trip to the town.
Mrs Tillsley said: "In her speech she remarked about what good community relations we have here in Redditch and what a good example the town was to other areas in bringing harmony between different minorities about.
"She was very impressed by the function and Caribbean buffet laid on and said she would love to come back."
Mrs Tillsley added: "There was an excellent turnout as well."
It is the third time a Jamaican High Commissioner has visited Redditch.
