FORMER Mayor of Kendal Colin Reynolds travelled to Buckingham Palace with his family to receive the MBE from Her Majesty the Queen.
Dr Reynolds, a former district councillor, was awarded the MBE for services to customers of the water industry.
He was accompanied to the palace by his wife Jean, son Simon and daughter Sarah.
Mr Reynolds was one of the original appointments made by the Office of Water Services watchdog to the Customer Service Committee for the North West.
During his ten years, he gave advice to the Price Regulator on a charging policy that allowed customer expectations to be met at an affordable price.
