Shaftesbury's joy at Royal Wedding
West End landlord Shaftesbury reckons the Royal Wedding will be good for business as tourists flock to London.
The company predicted a boost from the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton in April.
'People love the Queen,' said chief executive Jonathan Lane. 'There will be two weeks of holidays and people will come down to London.'
Lane, 65, also announced plans to retire as chief executive next year having held the position since Shaftesbury (down 6p to 434p) was formed in 1986.
He will become deputy chairman once a successor is found.
