A commemorative silk menu commissioned by the Corporation of London for the luncheon held at Guildhall on Tuesday 24th November 1992. This specific event is of significant historical note as the occasion on which Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II delivered her celebrated Annus Horribilis speech. The menu is printed on white silk. The text outlines the courses served. The menu identifies the attendees and officials including His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and the Lord Mayor Alderman Sir Francis McWilliams. The item is housed in its original blue presentation box which features gold-foiled lettering reading GUILDHALL LUNCHEON / HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II / NOVEMBER 24th 1992, flanked by the Royal Coat of Arms and the City of London Coat of Arms within a gilt foliate border.
