Acclaimed British architect and organiser of both high profile royal and public events. One of the greatest impresarios of special occasions in twentieth century London, his works ranged from the now legendary Pavarotti concerts in Hyde Park to the greatest children’s party ever produced, in 1979 during the International Year of the Child. The queen relied on Labovitch to stage manage the great events of the Silver Jubilee Year(1977). He was made a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order in 1993. (bio by: Kieran Smith)
