I am not sure what will happen in yours, mine
was on July 19 and was very comfortable for me.  I reached their about 10
minutes early and they checked my papers with the letter they sent me and the
Certificate of Naturalisation. We sat until Lord Mayor showed up then we went
through the group Oath of Allegiance ceremony. Lord Mayor did the speech for
about 10 minutes. Speech was on
welcoming and becoming British Citizen. After that they gave us our certificates
by calling our names one by one shaking hand with Lord Mayor. This was all over in about 45 minutes.

You may expect little different from mine
as I believe every council may have little different procedures.

My husband has just received the ceremony invitation telling him the order of what will happen on the occasion.

After the ceremony in which he will be presented his certificate by a local councillor there is to be a presentation of a gift on behalf of the Highland council and refreshments to follow. Sounds welcoming.

Will let you know how it went afterwards

Here are a couple of pics taken just after he got his certificate 

We took video of him receiving the certificate but I don't think I can post that on here.

I've got my ceremony coming up in a couple of weeks, just wanted to know what other peoples experiences of the ceremony have been and what to expect.
