Lady St Levan has been elected by the Council of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association as President for the 2017 Royal Cornwall Show.

Mary, as Lady St Levan is happy to be known, is relishing the role, even though she knows that a busy three days await her at Cornwall’s largest annual event.

Mary’s husband James, the 5th Lord St Levan, undertook the role in 1999 and she becomes the seventh member of the St Aubyn family to take up the honour.
