94. United Guilds’ Service and Lunch

This Service, in St Paul’s Cathedral will be held on Friday 31st March and I hope that many of you will attend.

The origins of the Service go back to the dark days of the Second World War when the Twelve Great Companies decided, in 1943, to hold a service in St Paul’s to lift the spirit of the City following the devastation of the blitz – the Service has been held every year since. It is a colourful event with all 110 Companies represented and a procession of Masters and Prime Wardens in full regalia.

Following the Service we have organized a lunch in Member’s dining Room at Guildhall at a cost of £75.

Members of the Company and their partners are cordially invited to both events, but space is limited and you should contact the Clerk to apply for tickets without delay.

Fiona and I look forward to seeing you there.
