Amalie becomes town's junior mayor for the day
Current mayor Cllr Peter McEwan collected Amalie, from Year 5, from school before presenting her with her red ceremonial robes and chain and driving to the Mayor’s Parlour in Corby Cube.
A spokesman for the school said: “Cllr McEwan had been so impressed with our students when they visited him to talk about the Little Ambassadors scheme earlier this year that he invited one to become Mayor for the day.

After being introduced to civic staff, Amalie learned more about the role and the mayoral regalia and was the first person in Corby to be presented with a gold commemorative coin to mark the Queen’s 90th birthday.
She then visited Teamwork, the Mayor’s charity which supports adults with special educational needs and gives them the skills needed for warehouse work.
Then her busy schedule took her back to the Cube for a photoshoot to mark the ‘Clean for the Queen’ campaign in time for the Queen’s 90th birthday.
