Each week we put a Norwich resident in the hot seat and ask them ten questions about themselves. This week we spoke with Marion Maxwell, The Lord Mayor of Norwich.
• Describe Norwich in three words...
Welcoming, historical, cultural.
• If you were stranded with three people on a deserted island, who would you want them to be?
Meatloaf (he'd be entertaining), Tony Benn and Hilary Clinton.
• If you could be any other person, who would it be?
I like being me, but if I had to be someone else it would probably be Elizabeth I.
