Lord Carrington's dedication extended beyond politics; he attended various events such as the Annual Men of the Year Lunch and Film Industry Dinner at River Thames where he mingled effortlessly with influential figures from different walks of life. His international impact cannot be overlooked either; President Zia of Pakistan found solace upon arrival when greeted by Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington.
