(B) 70^th Anniversary of the end of World War Two

It is proposed that the City of London Corporation hosts a lecture followed by a reception at Guildhall in May 2015 to mark the 70^th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

While the 75^th anniversary would usually provide the commemorative focus, this event would provide an opportunity to commemorate the end of the War while some of those who lived through it are still able to attend.

We recommend that appropriate hospitality be granted and that arrangements are made under the auspices of the Policy and Resources Committee; the costs to be met from City’s Cash and within the approved cost parameters.

This would be a Full Court event.
