May 16th 2019 was the annual Fortnum and Mason food and drink awards. At the time Jimmy’s friend, Ewan Venters, was CEO of the retailer (from 2012-20) and was credited with transforming the business.
Ewan had roped Jimmy in the year before (here) and here he was, back again, to present another award.
Claudia Winkleman was also a returnee and Chris Evans presented Mary Berry with the award for TV personality of the year. All winners are listed here.
