Tonight we attended a reception for the HM Lord Lieutenant of South Glamorgan at the Mayor's Parlour. We would like to thank the Mayor of the Vale, Cllr Stuart Egan, for inviting us to the reception where HM Lord Lieutenant, Mrs Morfudd Ann Meredith was officially welcomed to the role.
We met representatives and ambassadors of residents living in the Vale such as the Deputy Mayor of the Vale, Mayor of Llantwit and HM Deputy Lord Lieutenant. It was great to represent young people at the event and promote the work of the Youth Cabinet and Vale Youth Forum.
Did you know? - HM Lord Lieutenant is appointed by the Queen and is a representative of the Queen. It is the Lord Lieutenant's responsibility to organise all Royal visits to the local area and escort any member of the Royal Family on the day of the visit.

The Royal Opening of the 5th NAfW
On Tuesday 7th June, members of the Vale Youth Cabinet, Vale Youth Forum, Llantwit Youth Council, Barry Youth Action and Penarth Youth Action attended the Royal Opening of the fifth National Assembly for Wales where we represented young people from the Vale of Glamorgan.
The day started off with the rigorous security process that we all had to go through and then we were greeted by Assembly staff who gave us visitor passes and Welsh flags. Walking single file to the Senedd, we took our places outside the Senedd and we were right at the front! We watched the soldiers march into position with the band playing them in. The loudest part was definitely the 21 gun salute to mark the arrival of the Queen. The most important part of the day was seeing the Queen walk right past us, along with the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
The experience of watching the Royal Family walking past us was unreal and I none of us will forget it. Daley even got to give his Welsh flag to the Prince of Wales! The crowd roared and cheered and we even made it on the TV screens. You can watch highlights of the ceremony here, don't forget to look out for us waving our flags!
