The third event of the day was the Service of Thanksgiving for the Lord Mayor and his role with the City Livery Companies and Ward Clubs. This was held at the church of St Stephen Walbrook, which is situated just below the Mansion House. The church is unusual in that it has a central round altar which was designed by Henry Moore and made of a single piece of travertine marble. The design concept was for people to gather as a community to worship. The service of thanksgiving included a sermon by the Revd Canon Roger Royle, Chaplain to the Lord Mayor, which was both humorous and thought provoking. The service was followed by wine and canapés and yet another opportunity to socialise!
