Lord Mayor, over the past year you have brought the global economy to Mansion House, you have opened its doors to many who would not otherwise have thought of entering, especially from the Asian community, and you have gone out of your way to meet young people from our financial firms. You have raised money for disabled children and you have promoted Cornwall - next Tuesday is “Cornwall Day in the City” with, I hope, free pasties for everyone. And tonight all of us here would like to pay tribute to your work since you became Lord Mayor, and to thank both the Lady Mayoress and you for the splendid hospitality - Cornish produce in fact - which you have extended to us all this evening. So I invite you all to rise and join me in the traditional toast of good health and prosperity to “The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress”, David and Tessa Brewer. BIS Review 61/2006  3
