"It's been a very great privilege to work for so long in this very special county" said Mr Jenkins.
"I have been particularly fortunate to work with some very committed and able people, and I was very touched that so many leading councillors - past and present - joined me to mark my retirement."

Former council leaders attended a special lunch to honour Mr Jenkins' career, along with current council chairman John Wilson.
"David is a fine example of good leadership combined with a caring attitude" added Mr Wilson.
"The people of Dorset of all ages, from children to the elderly, have benefited hugely from the way that David has guided their county council through the past 13 years and more - and especially during the current economic times."
