Volunteer Sue Clarke, 71, said the tea party was “a really lovely opportunity” for volunteers from all over the city to get together.

“It was really nicely organised and an afternoon tea is always very lovely,” she said.

“I love my city and I wanted to be part of it from City of Culture in 2017 and I’ve just kept volunteering since then,” she said.

Lucy Phillips is a volunteer for the Love Button Global Movement, a non-profit organisation created to inspire people get involved in volunteering, which helped put on the tea party.

She said: “We put an afternoon tea on as a thank you to volunteers all over the city.

“Thank you to them for all the hard work that they do and it’s just been a really lovely atmosphere.”
