Recently it was Dewsbury-born Baroness Betty Boothroyd whom he met at a summer banquet at the Mansion House, home of the Lord Mayor of London.

The event had been hosted by the Worshipful Company of Lightmongers, a City Livery Company, of which Peter is a member.

He said: “It is always a great pleasure to meet up with Betty who has never forgotten her Dewsbury roots.
