The reception attracted an impressive gathering of literary and cultural figures with around 100 guests from the publishing world in attendance.

Parker noted, “Anytime you bring attention to reading and the relationship between a reader and a book and how it changes lives and enriches lives and cultivates empathy and curiosity, I’m so grateful.”
The Queen was absolutely thrilled when she presented a special gift to the institution’s famous collection of Pooh bears, which originally belonged to the son of author AA Milne.
She donated a replacement Roo doll, made by British toymaker Merrythought, as the original character has been missing from the collection for some time.
