Front to back: Alan Sainsbury, R.J. Sainsbury, J.D. Sainsbury, James Sainsbury, Simon Sainsbury, Timothy Sainsbury, and David Sainsbury. The photograph was taken for a Sunday Times magazine article on the centenary of the business (possibly by David Steen?). This photograph is featured in 'The Best Butter in the World' page 155.

Photograph showing guests at tables at a dinner party including members of the Sainsbury family and some company directors. In the back row some people can be probably identified (this may not be fully correct, as some people cannot be seen clearly): Robert Sainsbury, Lady Sainsbury of Drury Lane (wife of Alan, Lord Sainsbury of Drury Lane), James Sainsbury? (possibly - partially obscured), unidentified woman, unidentified man, Anya Sainsbury (wife of J.D. Sainsbury), Roy Griffiths (a Sainsbury's director), unidentified woman, J.D. Sainsbury (chairman; later Lord Sainsbury of Preston Candover), unidentified woman, Lord Sainsbury of Drury Lane (Alan Sainsbury), unidentified woman, unidentified man, and Simon Sainsbury. On the near table (back row, second from left) is Peter Davis (a Sainsbury's director). The filing of this picture (and another which appears to be of the same event) in the James Sainsbury file may indicate this event was in some way connected specifically with James Sainsbury but this is unclear and it may instead have been misplaced.
