The event on April 20, 1962
It looks like an official dinner.
One man wears a chain, men are wearing suits and ties and most of the women are wearing hats. But what was the occasion?
The picture was found in the Oxford Mail archives, with no details of the event.
All we know is that the picture was taken by a Mail photographer on April 20, 1962.
Judging from the pillars, the venue was almost certainly Oxford Town Hall. Any clues to what the occasion was? Let me know.
