The new Master of the Worshipful Company of Butchers is Alderman, Nicholas Anstee. He was elected during the Common Hall ceremony at Butchers’ Hall, in London.
The Court, pictured below, runs the affairs of the livery company, and it too was duly elected. This includes Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal who continues to serve alongside 14 other elected members.
The annual church service at St Bartholomew the Great preceded the formal ceremony, and following Common Hall a luncheon for members was enjoyed by all.
Nicholas Anstee was the 682nd Lord Mayor of the City of London from 2009-2010.
