English judge Lord Justice Nugee is pictured above sporting the latest in judicial garb – a bespoke Savile Row silk mask.
The judge, whose wife is Labour’s Emily Thornberry MP, was appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal last year. His daughter Rose commissioned the luxurious face covering from embroiderers Hawthorne & Heaney for her father’s swearing-in ceremony.

It features “three shades of gold thread stitched on black silk, with two internal layers and a black silk lining”.
It also comes complete with the judge’s initials, just to avoid any mixups.
