Ann Weir, an active member of St. George's, Leeds, was among honoured recipients of Maundy Money from King Charles in one of the oldest royal ceremonies.
Specially-minted coins were handed out to 76 men and 76 women at Durham Cathedral - the same number as the King's age - during a traditional Christian service to mark Maundy Thursday.
Ann has served for several years in St. George's as leader of the Farsi speaking community at church, welcoming and helping to disciple hundreds of Farsi speakers and she attended the service with Ali Bashiri, intern at St. George's.
The event takes place annually on the final Thursday before Easter Sunday and commemorates the Last Supper and the importance of humility and service to others.
This year's Maundy coins included a £5 one commemorating the Queen Mother and a 50p commemorating World War Two, with the recipients being people who have helped their local churches and community.
