Sotheby's auction house was the venue last night for the launch of historian Andrew Roberts' new book, Masters and Commanders (Allen Lane, £25). A gamut of prestigious guests turned out for the event, including Tory leaders past and present (Thatcher, Cameron, Hague, Howard, Duncan Smith), TV anchorwoman Emily Maitlis (left) and Andrea Catherwood (right, with Phoebe Vela centre) and various aristocrats, among them the Earl Spencer.
