The new Mayor of Bolton, Cllr Akhtar Zaman, extends a warm welcome to all to attend the Civic Sunday Parade and Church Service this weekend.
The procession will leave Victoria Square at 10.35am and make its way to the Parish Church via Hotel Street, Mealhouse Lane, Deansgate, across Bradshawgate and down to Churchgate for the 11am service.
The parade will be commanded by Bolton’s local 216 Battery of the 103rd Regiment of the Royal Artillery and the procession will be led by The Royal Artillery Volunteers Band.
Cllr Zaman is Bolton’s first Asian Muslim Mayor and is exceptionally proud to be Bolton’s First Citizen.
He has chosen his wife Nargis to be his Mayoress.
During his time as Mayor, he will be raising funds for his four chosen charities: Fortalice, Bolton Hospice , Bolton Wanderers in the Community Charity, and Girlguiding.
