On Friday 9 October 2026, Knights and their guests gathered at Barber-Surgeons’ Hall in the City of London for the Society’s Guinevere & Medical Dinner.

In the unfortunate absence of the Knight President, the evening was hosted by our Deputy Knight President, Patrick Wilkins MBE and our principal guest was the Master of the Barbers’ Company, the Hon Mrs Virginia Lovell, daughter of Sir Bernard Lovell, former Speaker of the House of Commons and a Knight of our Society.

The occasion was unique in that it included a Rededication of the Knights to the values and traditions of the Society and the Dedication of our beautifully restored historic banners by Knight Chaplain Canon Paul Thomas.

We were treated to an excellent musical performance by Kyle Manson-Hing, one of our 2026 award recipients from Arts Education London (ArtsEd), accompanied on the piano by Marvin Beli, a former Royal College of Music (RCM) student supported in 2020 by the Society.

We hope this selection of photographs captures the warmth, fellowship and memorable moments of a very special evening.
