Presentation of Fruit to the Lord Mayor 2021

27th October 2021

On Wednesday 27th October 2021, The Lord Mayor, Alderman William Russell, accompanied by the Lady Mayoress, received Mr David Simmons, Immediate Past Master of the Company, at The Mansion House for the Annual Presentation of Fruit to the Lord Mayor. Also present were the Wardens, members of the Company and their guests. Unfortunately the Master was unable to attend.
The Lord Mayor expressed delight at being able to participate in this ancient custom, particularly as four members of his family, all Lord Mayors, had done so before him.
The spectacular presentation display, together with the magnificent basket of fruit which was presented to the Lady Mayoress, were created and donated by Liveryman Peter Thomas. Most generous gifts – “Thank You”.
With the Company’s duty fulfilled at Mansion House the party retired to Bakers’ Hall for lunch.
