A short ceremony officiated by Bishop Brooks & Bishop Tapfumaneyi in attendance with H E Cenio Lewis, High Commissioner for St.Vincent & the Grenadines, Cllr. Richard Scott Marlow Town Mayor and Chairman of Bucks Council, along with a restricted number of representatives from Wycombe and Marlow Communities.
