About This Event

Join Murray Craig for a captivating evening at The London Archives on Wednesday 2nd September, commencing at 5:30pm. His talk, intriguingly titled Celebrity Freedom of the City - Famous Faces & Hidden Stories, promises a delightful journey through a quarter-century of his involvement in bestowing the esteemed Freedom of the City of London upon a host of recognisable individuals. Expect a treasure trove of amusing anecdotes and behind-the-scenes insights, shedding light on the less publicised moments associated with these prestigious ceremonies. This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to discover the human side of well-known personalities and the often-unseen details that accompany such significant civic honours. Tickets for this engaging event are available for a modest £5.00.
