It took place during his time as Black Rod, a role with ceremonial duties such as the State Opening of Parliament and the supervision of security emergency responses. Despite one miscreant causing injury and damage and the risk of more like him in Parliament, concerted communications with a common message for everyone were missing. Find out about how David managed the consequences, what the experience meant for him, and what kind of relationships mattered.
