Gyles Brandreth (right) hosting the charity auction - presumably, all his sweaters were in the wash
Apologies to regular readers who ripped off the cover last week in eager anticipation of seeing the promised picture of a celebrity famous for his choice of jumpers consorting with lawyers. Inexplicably, the Solicitors 2004 conference in Birmingham got in the way. Anyway, better late than never: here is Gyles Brandreth himself, the multi-talented ex-MP, TV game show star and author of the recent, rather racy biography of Prince Philip. Mr Brandreth - sadly sans trademark flamboyant jersey - attended the recent opening of a London office by his legal adviser, Bristol firm Bevans, and hosted the charity auction, which raised £4,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital. With Mr Brandreth is Bevans partner Alex Bevan.
