It was a an absolute pleasure to have been invited to the Knightsbridge Partnership Christmas celebration at St Paul's, Knightsbridge. Superb service, with apt readings chosen by Saskia Jiggens, attended by local businesses, and the soldiers from Knightsbridge barracks provided pomp and military splendour. Congratulations to @Knightsbridge Partnership for getting the local business community together, and a perfect start to the festive season. Many thanks to Steven Medway and the team. Happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.
Last week, Knightsbridge Partnership hosted our inaugural Christmas Celebration, in partnership with St Paul's Knightsbridge. This magical event brought together a cross-section of Knightsbridge's community, including businesses, residents, stakeholders and dignitaries. We were honoured that key community figures gave readings at the event, including The Worshipful the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Preety Hudd; Deputy Lord Mayor of Westminster, Councillor Louise HYAMS; the Adjutant of the The Household Cavalry Regiment, Captain Jamie Bruce-Crampton; Chairman of the Knightsbridge Association, Melville Haggard; and Chairman of the Knightsbridge Partnership and Managing Director of Harrods, Michael Ward. These readings consisted of poetry, which offered heartfelt reflections on the Christmas season, as well as charming personal anecdotes and recollections of Knightsbridge. Guests enjoyed scrumptious savoury and sweet festive refreshments, including delicious wine courtesy of Harrods, mini mince pies courtesy of The Lanesborough and Christmas Tree Cakes courtesy of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. The St Paul's Knightsbridge Choir captivated guests with traditional hymns during the service, accompanied by an organist. This was followed by festive tunes performed by the immensely talented JJ Gibbs (vocalist) and Samuel Woolf (pianist) after the service ended. A special thank you must also go to the The Household Cavalry Regiment for providing wonderful programme ushers, a brilliant trumpeter and four magnificent Military Working Horses with riders, who greeted guests as they arrived! Thank you also to the Grosvenor Casino The Park Tower and McLaren Group teams for their logistical support. Finally, thank you to all the guests who joined us and made the event sensational.
