The Duchess of Cornwall chose to show her support for an equestrian charity as her first appointment since breaking her leg.
As president of the charity, Ebony Horse Club and a patron of the BEF, who are also supporting the charity through the HOOF Ride London project, Her Royal Highness declared, "I could not be more thrilled that these two very special organisations are working so closely together."
The lunch was attended by various supporters of the Club including Clare Balding, Dane Rawlins, Emile Faurie, Jemma Kidd, riders, trainers and breeders.
In giving focus, discipline and a chance to succeed to some of the most disadvantaged youngsters from Brixton, the Club has offered riding and horsemastership to more than 300 children and, when the vital final funds are received to build a £1.7million centre right in Brixton itself, so scores more will be able to join.
BEF London Representative David Gadsby said, "I really hope the lunch went some way to making people aware of the high level of support the charity has and also just how urgently it needs funding - anything anyone can contribute will make a difference."
