I don't think Roger Bannister was Lord Hughes, but perhaps there was some last minute searching for a significant public figure and Roger's name was in the short list?
"There was a great gathering that day of VIPs, employees and people from South Queensferry
and neighbouring communities. Unfortunately, Willie Ross was unavailable for this special
event and his place was taken by Lord Hughes, Under-Secretary of State, so the glass panel
was always a bit of a misrepresentation!"
