The Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers

UNITED GUILDS SERVICE – FRI 15 MAR

The Master and Wardens represented the Company at the annual United Guilds Service held at St Paul’s Cathedral on Fri 15 Mar.  The Master was accompanied by his Consort, and they were joined by a number of other Liverymen, the Clerk, and the Administration and Events Officer.  Lunch was taken at Plaisterers’ Hall afterwards.

At the inaugural United Guilds’ Service, in 1943, all the City Livery Companies and Guilds gathered in St Paul’s Cathedral to worship, and lift their spirits after the Blitz. The Lord Mayor attended, along with the Sheriffs and the Court of Aldermen; the Lord Bishop preached the sermon. The Service continues, in a similar form, to this day and remains one of the few occasions when the City Livery Companies and Guilds gather as one.
