The Prince of Wales is to be guest of honour at a tribute dinner to Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks on Monday week ahead of his retirement at the end of August.

A number of senior political figures are also expected to be among the 700 guests at the central London event.

Former United Synagogue vice-president Keith Barnett, who is chairing the dinner, said: “We are honoured by His Royal Highness’s presence, which is indicative of the esteem in which the Chief Rabbi is held not only in our community but in the nation as a whole.”

He added: “It is going to be a great celebration. There will be music, entertainment and Prince Charles and the Chief Rabbi will be the main speakers.”
