I WOULD just like to publicly thank City of York Council and the Lord Mayor of York.

I, along with other members of my family, accompanied my dad, Richard Seymour, to the Mansion House to meet the Lord Mayor, who presented my dad with the commemorative Seal of the City of York to mark the service that he and his business, C E Seymour Tailors, have given the city.

It was a great occasion which meant a lot to my dad.

The staff at the Mansion House couldn’t have been more helpful and the Lord Mayor was very accommodating, even posing for a selfie with my eldest son.

So, thank you, it meant a lot.

Phil Seymour, York
