He said: "Thank you all for coming. This year I wanted to do something different, not a formal ball or dinner with invitations to other mayors and chairs, but a community celebration for Ely.
"I talk a lot about 'community', what makes a community welcoming, inclusive and healthy.
"We are fortunate to live in a small historic city with a great cathedral and many fine buildings and attractions - but people make a community."
