Gloucester County Administrator Carol Steele joined the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester to celebrate the annual Gloucester Day in England on Sept. 3. It was the first time each of them had the opportunity to join in the celebration.

The visit coincided with the newly created Gloucester Collaboration, where the Gloucester’s of the world are connecting with one another.

“The day was a tremendous success from the bell ringing held at the Cathedral to a special church service to viewing the civic parade with the royal representatives,” Steele said. “Their Royal Highnesses were very kind and supportive to loan their support of the new Collaboration.” The Duke has even agreed to judge an upcoming high school essay contest where students from each of the Gloucester’s will have the opportunity to submit essays about what makes their own localities unique. The Duchess was also very positive about the potential of the Gloucester communities working together.
