Happy Birthday Diane!
from LUCIE SCOTT
I never saw such dignity as you showed us on that night.
I never saw such grace as when you stood for what was right.
I’d never seen such loyalty until I witnessed you in place
And now I see the gratitude and joy upon your face.
The pride of 10 elections and the Mother of the House,
a phenomenal woman who deserves a nation’s praise.
Happy Birthday & many happy returns.
Lucie Scott is former BAME officer for Hackney North CLP
