At the end of May Warwick found out that it had not been made a city as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Despite the disappointment, the town's MP and town council said Warwick continues to be a great place to live.

Later in the month the council elected a new mayor, with Cllr Parminder Singh Birdi unveiled as the new mayor at a ceremony at Warwick Castle.

Outgoing mayor Cllr Richard Edgington presented £4,000 in donations to local charities.

And he described his year in office as 'a whirlwind and an absolute blast'.
