Precedence
The Mayor always has precedence within the Borough of Slough unless a Member of the Royal Family or the Lord Lieutenant for Berkshire or his/her Deputy is present.
Seating at dinners, luncheons and social events
If the Mayor is not chairing an event, he/she should sit to the right of the host. If a member of the Royal Family or the Lord Lieutenant for Berkshire or his/her Deputy is present, the Mayor should sit on the left of the host.
When the Mayoress/Mayor’s Consort/Escort accompanies the Mayor, she/he should sit next to the Mayor.
If the Mayoress/Consort attends as the Mayor’s representative, she/he should sit where the Mayor would normally sit.
Church services
The Mayoral Party should be met at the entrance to the church and conducted to the front pew in the nave on the right of the centre aisle or (should there be no central aisle) to the middle of the pew.
One exception to this practice is at funeral services, where the Mayor gives up this place to the family mourners. Instead, the Mayor takes the front pew on the left.
