Marion Ross has replaced John Fox as mayor after a unanimous vote at a Downham Market town council meeting.
Ms Ross was voted mayor elect in January but it was only confirmed tonight that she would take on the position for the Mayoral Year.
Ms Ross said at the meeting: 'I just want to say thank you and I will do my very best for us in the future.'
Frank Daymond resumed his position as deputy mayor.
