57. Dinner at Mansion House, March 31, 2022
In normal times,
each year, the Lord Mayor invites the Masters, Prime Wardens and Upper Bailiff
of the Livery Companies to Dinner to celebrate the Mayor’s partnership with the
Livery Companies of the City of London, and return the hospitality received
during his Mayoral year.
After a two-year break, The Right Honourable The Lord Mayor Alderman Vincent Keaveny welcomed nearly 350 guests to the Mansion House, with music from the Salon Orchestra of the HAC Band and the State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry. His personal escort was provided by the Pikeman and Musketeers of the HAC.
The Lord Mayor welcomed those present to the Dinner and set out his plan for his period of office. The traditional Worldwide visits on behalf of City businesses had been curtailed again because of the pandemic but he was determined to catch up. He also mentioned the charitable work undertaken by Livery Companies and humanitarian assistance given to the people of Ukraine.
The
Consort and I were placed next to the Master of the Company of Communicators,
James Gurling. The evening was very enjoyable and my thanks go to The Lord
Mayor for a wonderful evening.
