Every year the Lord Mayor hosts a white tie dinner at the Mansion House for Master’s & Prime Wardens and their Consorts. This very grand event took place earlier this week and Fiona and I were honoured to attend along with a total of some 300 other guests.
The excellent meal and wines were accompanied by music from the Band of the Royal Yeomanry and a trumpet fanfare before each toast or speech The Lord Mayor gave an excellent amusing, but City focused speech. The response by the Master Grocer (which focused on cricket) was sadly lost to everyone in the audience!A wonderful occasion. Many thanks to the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress for inviting us.
Photographs show the invitation and menu card, Fiona and I on arrival and the beautiful Egyptian Room full of guests.
