SIR – Through the Worcester News may I express my sincere thanks to everyone who supported me during my 28 years on Pershore Town Council from May 1983 to May 2011.

My chief joy was receiving my MBE from Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace on March 2, 1999, for service to the community.

I shall still endeavour to support the community and other organisations of which I am president and also Pershore projects that are so important to me.

The digital radio presented to me by Pershore Town Council together with a framed certificate was much appreciated. Thank you so much.

BETTY HUGHES MBE
Pershore
