New British Citizens

Nine Pembrokeshire residents have become British citizens at a special ceremony this week.

The nine undertook their vows at County Hall, Haverfordwest last Thursday (October 9th).

They included a family originally from the Phillipines, along with individuals from Egypt, Thailand and the USA.

The ceremony was led by Barbara Eynon, Superintendent Registrar for Pembrokeshire.

The new citizens swore an oath to the Queen and pledged to be loyal citizens before standing for the Welsh and English national anthems.

The anthems were led by youngsters from Hayscastle Primary School, who also contributed other musical items.

Around 40-50 Pembrokeshire people become British citizens every year.
