As I wrote last week, thousands of words will be written and spoken on this subject. I have raised it solely because I was pleased to see that the Viscount Carrington was present.
I mentioned him in a post here in 2008; (I am sorry that half the text in the original has disappeared; blame it on HTML. The second gentleman in this article
was a French banker who though entirely innocent, resigned immediately
following the appalling acts of certain of his staff).
Lord Carrington was for me, the epitome of the disinterested aristocrat, a type which thanks to disastrous experiments with taxation, democracy and socialism, now is more or less extinct. Look on, Mandelson, Blair & co. and weep.

Sic transit gloria I say.
Afterthought: I noticed that Mrs Blair has finally found some manners and managed to wear a hat.
