Meeting The Lord Mayor with Anthony Grey


We accompanied Anthony Grey, owner of The Tagman Press on a visit to the Lord Mayor of Norwich, Councillor Tom Dylan on Tuesday 30 November.
Anthony was invited to meet the Lord Mayor of Norwich on his return from two years as a hostage in Beijing in 1969, but was not able to take up the invitation. So he finally made it 41 years later.


Anthony presented The Lord Mayor with copies of his The Hostage Handbook, the secret diary he kept in captivity and Illuminee's Miracle in Kigali. For more information about The Hostage Handbook see http://www.tagmanpress.co.uk.
