On the previous day, Prince Charles had accepted the Freedom and had been elected to the Livery of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers (one of the great and traditional Livery Companies of the City of London). Now, during the Guildhall ceremony, he was presented by the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers and made the declaration of a Freeman , promising to be good and true to the Queen; obedient to the Lord Mayor; and to keep the City harmless. He also signed the Roll of Fame, which was opened in 1740 and includes the signatures of Garibaldi, Disraeli , Nehru - and Queen Elizabeth II. No date (1972?)
