Joanna Lumley, Rosie Boycott, Dave Gilmour, Polly Samson, and Stephen Frears
22 January 2014
Lined up at the bar at the Tabernacle in Notting Hill last night were actress Joanna Lumley, Rosie Boycott, Pink Floyd’s Dave Gilmour and his novelist wife Polly Samson, and film director Stephen Frears, after an evening discussing bridges and libraries.
Lumley, campaigning for funding for the Thomas Heatherwick garden bridge, said she came up with the idea as the official memorial for Diana, Princess of Wales only for it to be turned down. Economist Vicky Pryce talked about her loneliness in prison. “I ended up being the only one watching a movie in the library as everyone was snogging their girlfriends.”
