The Mayor will be invited to many religious services of different denominations during his/her year of office. Some of the customs may be different to those they are used to. The Mayor always respects the customs of any religion, for example, on entering a synagogue, they will be required to cover their head. A yarmulke is usually offered on these occasions.
It is appropriate for the Mayoress to wear a hat in church.
