Our Prinicpal Guest is Mr Eddie Donaldson OBE FCA, who is a Vice President of the RNLI having recently retired as Deputy Chairman and Treasurer.  Eddie was a partner with KPMG for 23 years, during which time he was on both the UK and EMA executive teams, retiring in 2010.  He subsequently became a Trustee of the RNLI in 2013, following in the footsteps of his father, who had been Treasurer and Chair of the RNLI’s Enfield fundraising branch in North London.  Eddie was awarded his OBE in the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours for his charitable work.

Drapers' Hall is one of the most magnificent of all the the livery halls and occupies a site bought from King Henry VIII in 1543 for the sum of 1,800 marks (approximately £1,200).  The current hall dates from 1772, with changes to the front and interior alterations by Herbert Williams in the 1860s, with further alterations 1898-9 by Sir Thomas Graham Jackson. The stunning interiors will be recognisable from many films including The King's Speech and Goldeneye.
