Guildhall - Centenary Reception & Beating Retreat

8 October 2008

A Champagne Reception was held in the historic Guildhall to celebrate the Guild's centenary.

Deputy Pauline Halliday received the Guild members and their guests, including Field Marshall The Lord Vincent of Coleshill, who gave an address to the Guild of Freemen to mark the Guild's centenary.

Later, a spectacular Beating Retreat by the Band of the Grenadier Guards was performed in the Guildhall Yard. A fitting end to a wonderful evening.
