I know it's a long shot, but today I lost this broach somewhere between Inner Temple & the RCJ. If anyone might have seen it please can you let me know? It doesn't have monetary value but was my great grandmother's & means so much to me. I know it's likely gone but worth a try 😔

[Dr Rasha Mezher-Sikafi @DrRasha_MS]
