Parliamentary Pub The Red Lion announces unique "Generation Jones Day" Event
Legendary pub hosts tribute on 16 June to new generation of Parliamentary leadership


LONDON, ENGLAND, June 13, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In light of the recent General Election results, the legendary Parliamentary pub The Red Lion will host a special "Generation Jones Day" event on 16 June 2010, in honor of the UK's new generation of leadership. As part of this event, The Red Lion will offer GenJones-themed elements for the general public, including special music and complimentary food items, as well as special offers for all Generation Jones MPs who attend.

After decades of Baby Boomer MPs in power, the recent election saw the torch passed to Generation Jones leaders: born between 1955 and 1967. Approximately half of the new Parliament and Cabinet, as well as Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, are members of this generation between the Boomers and Generation X. Since the election, numerous political commentators have emphasized the historic importance of this generational transition.

The Red Lion's "Generation Jones Day" event will include numerous components related to this age group. Popular music from the 1970s/1980s, when GenJonesers were in their teens and twenties, will be played throughout the event. Complimentary Cheese and Pineapple Hedgehogs—a nostalgic favourite for GenJonesers from the 1970s/1980s—will be available for all who attend. Other nostalgic food—like fish 'n' chips wrapped in "newspaper"—will be available for purchase. In addition to the various offerings for the general public, GenJones MPs who attend this event will receive other specials, including a free drink upon arrival.

Peter "The Baron" Cliffe—the well-known London Publican who manages The Red Lion—said: "Here at The Red Lion, our history is so intertwined with Parliament that we are honored to mark important moments in its history. With Parliament so dominated now by one generation of MPs, we are quite happy to pay tribute to them."

The Red Lion has long been closely associated with Parliament. The first Red Lion was built on its site in 1434, and it sits on Parliament Street, directly next to The Palace of Westminster and is the closest pub to 10 Downing Street. Because of its history and location, it has long been a favourite among MPs. The pub has a division bell which is rung to notify MPs that a vote is about to be taken in Parliament and the TV in the main bar is tuned into the Parliament Channel. The Red Lion is owned by Fuller's--London's only remaining traditional family brewer.
