Roll on Friday
A new KC has celebrated her elevation by trotting to her chambers on horseback.
Jane Russell KC told RollOnFriday she rode from the ceremony appointing 105 new King’s Counsel at Westminster Hall back to Essex Court “to honour the important role that horses have played in my life and also in London’s life”.
Russell said the logistics were easy since a friend runs an animal stunt company. He leant her a steed named Jupiter, and accompanied her on Teake, who has enjoyed the privilege of being sat on by Harry Styles.
“For me, the horse bit of the day was a bit where I could relax”, said Russell.
“It was a really amazing experience going by horseback from Westminster Hall, round Trafalgar square, through Covent Garden, past the Hippodrome, across Kingsway and finally on to Lincoln’s Inn Fields”.
