Worship (style)

Worship (style)

His or Her Worship is an honorific prefix for mayors, Justices of the Peace and magistrates in Commonwealth Realms. In spoken address, these officials are addressed as Your Worship or referred to as His or Her Worship; Australia is an exception and all States now use Your Honour as the form of address for magistrates (the same as has always been used for judges in higher courts).

The Right Worshipful

Mayors of cities and the original Cinque Ports (Sandwich, Hythe, Dover, Romney and Hastings), are styled "The Right Worshipful". Also some historic boroughs, such as Shrewsbury and Atcham [http://www.shrewsbury.gov.uk/public/news/newmayor2006.htm] in Shropshire, call their Mayors by this prefix.
