On Candlemas day this year, I had the pleasure of having Gavin Keegan (51-56C) and his wife Sandie as my guests to my Livery Company’s Festivities, upon the annual election of our new master. We had a Court meeting followed by a service at the Wren Church and a reception attended by the Lord Mayor, himself a fellow Horner.

Gavin, being the same vintage as me and a liveryman of the Air Pilot’s Company, and I, have often wondered how many Old Boys are Freemen of the City and Liverymen.

If there were any interest by such qualifiers, we should like to consider having a luncheon in London in due course.
