David Roach’s Freedom of the City
17th October 2023Guildhall
Receiving your Freedom of the City is such a privilege. It is "one of the oldest surviving traditional ceremonies still in existence today, is believed to have been first presented in 1237" according to the City of London website. I remember when I received my Freedom and Brian received his. Both were cause for celebration. So it was a distinct honour to be invited to my friend, David Roach's Freedom of the City Ceremony. Tiphaine Le Bian presented David with his certificate and designated him as the youngest Freeman- until after lunch!!! Welcome David to a most honoured membership!
