The Dorchester hotel 90th anniversary history best moments

The Mayfair Suite Picture the scene. It s 20 April 1931, and Lady Astor is cutting the ribbon to open the capital s newest and grandest hotel: The Dorchester. The Terrace is humming with liveried waiters sharpening carving knives and sniffing corks, while Jack Jackson and his orchestra (The Dorchester s resident swing band) provide a background serenade. The moment is instantly iconic. When Sir Robert McAlpine conceived this soaring landmark on Park Lane, constructed in steel and concrete (unlike the other London landmark hotels, which were made of Victorian brick and Portland stone), it represented sheer extravagance, 1930s hubris, Mayfair gone mad. Advertisement The hotel hit the big time in the war years, when it became the social nexus of the capital, with Cecil Beaton commenting on the mixed brew who moved in; from government ministers to General Eisenhower (who used it as his wartime base).

Shirley Williams obituary: Labour minister who quit to launch SDP

Shirley Williams obituary: Labour minister who quit to launch SDP Luke O Reilly Baroness Williams of Crosby – better known as Shirley Williams – has died at the age of 90. Ms Williams was one of the disenchanted ex-Labour Cabinet ministers who became the Gang of Four founders of the breakaway and short-lived Social Democratic Party. She was a busy, breathless, tousle-haired intellectual who acquired an unwanted reputation for missing trains or going to the wrong venue for meetings. That was how she became affectionately known as Shilly Shally Shirley. Once Lady Astor told her: “You will never get anywhere in politics with hair like that.”

A Tribute to Shirley Williams (1930-2021)

I have just learned that Shirley Williams, Baroness Williams of Crosby, has died at the age of 90. In the last week we have lost Cheryl Gillan, Peter Ainsworth and Ian Gibson from the ranks of politicians or ex-politicians. And now Shirley. I do hope her death is not eclipsed in the news by the ongoing aftermath of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh. Shirley was a top ranking politician and a truly wonderful human being and deserves more. I first met her in 1977. In fact, she was the first politician I ever saw in real life. At the time she was serving in Jim Callaghan s cabinet and she came to my school in Saffron Walden to give a speech. The school hall was full. I do not remember anything she said, but I do remember shyly shaking hands with her afterwards. Sadly I can t remember what was said.
