The Hall was in its full Glory: Even the Fire damage was not obvious.
The marines band sitting aloft entertaining us all.
Mr and Mrs Bennett shared interesting mixture in the cup.
Dame Brenda Dean was sitting opposite, which always means we are in for a good evening of entertainment and conversation.
Brenda protecting some one's back - Not for the first time I am sure.
Mein Hosts in all their finery a more handsome group of individuals you couldn't wish to meet.
In all a wonderful night where a great time was had by all, Formalities continued late into the evening only to be stopped short by the barman at the Mercure in southwark refusing to serve us ! (Good job really otherwise we would still be there !!
