The Mayor has just unveiled a portrait of the Queen at City Hall.
Boris pointed out that it was seven years since Her Majesty opened the building and stated that the least we could do was acknowledge her role by displaying her official portrait. Most civic buildings boast a picture of the Head of State but so far she has been absent from the home of London government. Suspense built as the mayor made several attempts to draw back the curtain covering the picture. A good tug pulled it clear and Boris made a short speech whilst photographs were taken.
The chief executive, several deputy mayors and a cross section of staff from around the building were present for this brief event.
