In October 2014, we were invited to an event at the Pewterers' Hall (see below) the purpose of which was to raise
money for the Samaritans, which charity many of you will know was founded by Chad Varah, who also wrote for
Eagle.
Other guests included Felicity Varah Harding (Chad Varah's daughter), a granddaughter of Marcus Morris, and John Bachelor, who did many cut-away drawings for Eagle. We were also delighted to meet up with David Britton, Howard Corn and Will Grenham at the reception.
Thanks to Eleanor Mason-Brown, who organised the event, the evening was a great success and raised almost £800 for the charity. The photographs below were taken by Jean-Raphel Dedieu on behalf of Pewterers' Hall.
