Throughout its history, The Pilgrims of Great Britain has been privileged to welcome many of the foremost figures in public life to address its members. These occasions have offered rare insight into the thoughts and convictions of those who have helped shape international affairs.

From statesmen and diplomats to leaders in commerce, academia, and the arts, their words reflect the enduring spirit of dialogue and friendship that defines The Pilgrims.

Among the many memorable addresses are speeches delivered by Dr Henry A. Kissinger and The Rt Hon Baroness Margaret Thatcher, whose remarks continue to illuminate the shared values and transatlantic partnership that the Society exists to promote.
