Downing Street Reception in aid of Plater College, OxfordLondon – May 2004. British and Irish Delegate Anthony Bailey attended a reception at 10 Downing Street hosted by Mrs Cherie Blair, QC, wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, MP.

Among other Constantinian knights and dames attending were Delegation Prior, His Eminence Cormac, Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor, Archbishop of Westminster, Delegation Sub-Prior The Rt Rev George Stack, Auxiliary Bishop of Westminster, Delegation Chaplains, His Grace The Most Rev Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Birmingham, The Rev Father Michael Seed, and Delegation members, Sister Ellen Flynn and Mr John King.
