Last week we held a banquet at the Mansion House to celebrate 100 years of the City Solicitors Company. It was packed – 350 diners crammed the Egyptian Hall. Magnificent was the word. Magic circle meets Harry Potter.
There were trumpeters, a loving cup and we were clapped in (and clapped out!) to music. David Lewis, the Lord Mayor, is also the Company’s junior warden. The Egyptian Hall looked magical as the daylight faded and the chandeliers glowed. Our principal guest, Sir David Clementi, said: “If this is the Junior Warden’s house I would like to see the house of the Senior Warden.”
