PROUD: The celebrations started with a service in St Mary de Crypt followed by a procession to the Guildhall.
City MP Richard Graham said: "What does every great city need? A superb cathedral, a great manufacturing tradition, historic personalities and a great soul. We have that in spadefuls.
"But it also needs a great champion, or guardian, to maintain, restore and promote it – and that has been the role of the Gloucester Civic Trust over the past 40 years. I look forward to it continuing in this role for another 40 years."
Sunday and Monday evenings £12.00 per head for an all inclusive meal with Indian and Thai cuisine (normal price £14.50).
