Speaking after his election, Gifford said: “Next month will mark exactly 30 years since I joined SEB and 35 years since I first started working in the City. During this time, London’s Square Mile has become a truly global centre – and the focus of my year in office will be to underline that service is, and must be, at the heart of the financial services industry of the UK. In other words that the City must serve society – and be seen to do so.” While Lord Mayor, he carried the Mourning Sword at the funeral of Margaret Thatcher, leading the Queen and Prince Philip in and out of St Paul’s Cathedral for the ceremony. The last time it had been used was at the state funeral of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965. Fortunately for the monarch, she narrowly missed being struck by the ceremonial sword as Mr. Gifford swirled around to go up the steps of the cathedral. The quick instincts of the Queen saved the day, and her consort seemed to have a good chuckle over the matter.
