Dance of the dead: Swinging London it ain't: Correction

APOLOGY

The Opinion section on 8 August included an article by Laura Thompson published under the headline Dance of the Dead, Swinging London it ain't. This article was illustrated by a photograph of 'party people' in a restaurant. This photograph which featured Sarah Baron, Roger Streeten and Charlotte Couchman dining with friends was not taken on the occasion of Laura Thompson's visit to the restaurant she was describing and should not have been used to illustrate it. The comments contained in the article were not referable to any of the people in the photograph. We apologise unreservedly to Ms Baron, Mr Streeten and Ms Couchman for any embarrassment our article may have caused them and have agreed to pay them an appropriate sum in compensation.
