Redditch Mayor Dot Dudley got into the festive spirit by attending a number of events leading up to Christmas Day.

On Friday, December 20, Mrs Dudley attended the Princess of Wales Hospital, Bromsgrove, for a carol concert which was followed in the evening by the gala night of Jack and the Beanstalk at the Palace Theatre.

The following day, she joined in a carol service at Worcester Square with the musical talent of Arrow Valley Brass Band.
