68. Meeting the Lady Mayoress

Fiona, along with several other Consorts from a wide variety of livery companies, attended the Guildhall for an informal meeting with the new Lady Mayoress, Wendy Parmley, earlier this week.

The event coincided with the printing and distribution of the latest Consorts Picture Book, which enabled everyone to recognize each other! (There is an equivalent Picture Book for Masters that has also just been updated.)

I am told that the lady Mayoress spoke about her interest in promoting businesses across the country and she gave details of the suppliers of her various outfits worn over the weekend of her husbands installation, the Lord Mayors Show and banquet in the Guiildhall.

She also explained her passion, shared with the Lord Mayor, for music and described their three appeal charities. They are The London Symphony Orchestra Discovery Programme, Music in Hospitals and St Paul’s Cathedral Foundation.

The Consorts wished the new Lady Mayoress every success in her year.
