Inge Mitchell, Obituary
It is with great regret and sadness that we announce the passing of our long-standing member Mrs Inge L. Mitchell, R on Saturday 28th June 2025.
Inge Mitchell arrived in the UK in the 1950s. She worked at the Danish Consulate in Birmingham for a few years. She also worked as the PA to HRH Prince Georg of Denmark, who was the Defence Attaché at the Royal Danish Embassy for several years in the mid-1960s. Later on she held a PR position for the Baltic Exchange.
She was the Honorary Secretary to the Anglo-Danish Society for many years and in recognition of her tireless work for the Anglo-Danish Society, she was honoured with the Order of Dannebrog.
She was married to the first BBC News Presenter Leslie Mitchell (1905-1985).
A memorial for Inge L. Mitchell will be held at The Danish Church in London on September 19th at 3pm.
Our Centenary Dinner
Our grand Centenary Gala Dinner at Drapers’ Hall on 6th December 2024 was a great success and we believe everyone had an enjoyable and memorable evening. We certainly felt as if we managed to celebrate our centenary in style – and in a manner that befits and reflects our Society and our history up until now.
The musical performances by the Danish Royal Life Guards, the jazz trio 3Elements and the Band of The Royal Yeomanry were excellent as were the speeches by HRH the Duchess of Gloucester LG GCVO, the Protector of our Scholarship Programme and joint Guest of Honour with her husband, HRH the Duke of Gloucester KG GCVO, and Wayne Harber, our Chairman.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended, helped out in various ways, and responded to our Centenary Appeal.
The evening’s souvenir programme will be available on our website shortly and more details will also be included in our next newsletter, which is due out at the beginning of 2025.

We’re looking forward to seeing you again next year and furthering the impact of our Society. Roll on the next 100 years!
