Information

Penny knows more than most about pomp and circumstance. As Lord President of the Council, she held aloft the Sword of State at King Charles III’s coronation – for a very long time. In this superb new book, written with Chris Lewis, Penny celebrates the traditions and values that underpin British life. Her achievement is to show how important pomp and circumstance are. Far from being solely symbolic or ceremonial, the book shows how a country often thought of as old-fashioned actually uses its historical conventions to navigate the future. Chaired by Gavin Esler.
