A 21-year-old student has been elected Selby's youngest-ever mayor.
Councillor Rosie Corrigan was presented with the mayoral chains after spending a year as Selby's deputy mayor.
The Selby Town councillor was elected at the council's annual general meeting on Monday, when she took over the mayoral role from previous incumbent Cllr Graham Gatman.
Cllr Corrigan, who grew up in the Selby area, became a councillor in 2011 when she was elected to represent the Selby West ward.
She was previously a member of the Selby District Youth Council, the North Yorkshire Youth Council and the United Kingdom Youth Parliament.
She said that in her new role as mayor in the 2017/15 year, she hoped to encourage children and young people in Selby to champion their communities.
Cllr Corrigan is currently studying for a degree in British Politics and Legislative Studies, and has worked in parliament for the Shadow Secretary of State for Health.
Cllr Gavin Harding, who represents the Selby North ward, was elected deputy mayor.
Cllr Harding has been a town councillor for four years and is also an active member of Voices for People, the Selby-based group which supports people with learning difficulties.
