'Old Reuters' mourned in Fleet Street

Reuters staff past and present met in Fleet Street to mark the passing of the “old Reuters” on the eve of the birth of Thomson Reuters.

The London reunion drew people from editorial, sales and marketing, technical support, finance and administration.

The Old Bell was bursting, with drinkers spilling over to other pubs and wine bars in the neighbourhood including The Cheshire Cheese. The Punch Tavern captured the spirit of the evening with a sign regretting ”the passing of Reuters”. ■
