Mayors' Chain Gang enjoy day out in Islington

Date: 07-May-09 by Charles Dean


Outgoing Islington Mayor Cllr Stefan Kasprzyk has played 'tour guide' to a group of visiting Mayors from across London.

9 Mayors and their Consorts joined Islington's Mayor for a tour of borough's Emirates Stadium. The event, hosted by Arsenal FC saw Managing Director Ken Friar greet the 'Chain Gang' in person.

The event was held as part of the Mayor's fundraising activities for his charity Islington Kids Afloat.

Cllr Kasprzyk said: "A number of the Mayors had expressed an interest in seeing the Emirates Stadium and so it was great to be able to arrange a visit for them and also to benefit the Charity.

"It was a wonderful day out and I would like to thank Mr. Friar and all at Arsenal for making it such a special occasion."

The VIP visitors - all wearing their chains of office - then attended a reception in the Mayor's Parlour at Islington Town Hall.
