India was particularly well-represented and one centrepiece, the Jaipur Gate, can in fact still be seen today in the grounds of Hove Museum. In the run up to the event, the Court of Common Council, the City of London?s primary decision-making body, formed a committee to consider ways in which the City could best mark the occasion stating that, ?In view of the approaching visit of our Colonial and Indian brethren to this country, it is expedient that this Corporation do recognise the occasion, and that a special Ward committee be appointed to consider and report as to the best manner of doing this, thereby cementing the bond of union between this country and her Colonies and her Indian Empire". In response, services were held at St Paul?s Cathedral and a grand ball and reception were held at the Guildhall with some 4,500 invitations issued. The present medal was commissioned by The Corporation to commemorate that reception.
