		The 107 Livery Companies are trade associations based in the City of London, each known as the Worshipful Company of the relevant trade or profession.
		The Livery Companies originally developed as guilds and were responsible for the regulation of their trades, controlling, for instance, wages and labour conditions.
		Among the earliest companies known to have possessed halls were the Merchant Taylors and Goldsmiths in the 14th century, but neither their nor other companies' original halls remain; the few survivors of the Great Fire were destroyed, along with many reconstructed ones, during the Blitz.

		The method is to drive each group of swans into the bank, where the cob and pen have their beaks examined to ascertain ownership, and the cygnets are then similarly marked by making nicks with a sharp knife.
		The Dyers and the Vintners Companies are now the only owners of private swans on the Thames, the Worshipful Company of Dyers marking theirs with a nick on one side of the beak, and the Worshipful Company of Vintners marking theirs with a nick on each side.
		Two skiffs carried the Queen's Standard, two carried the flag of the Dyers' company and two the flag of the Vintners' company.

		The Company received a Charter in 1364 from King Edward III, which granted it a monopoly of trade with Gascony, followed in 1437 by a grant of incorporation.

		She granted such a right to the Worshipful Company of Vintners.
		In order to be able to tell which Swan belonged to whom, it was decided that Vintners' swans should have their beaks marked with two notches, or nicks.
		Now, in those days, 'neck' was another form of 'nick' and so the ever witty Vintners spotted that a Swan With Two Necks could afford them a rather clever pun, and so signs outside Vintners' taverns began to show Swans with two necks (and heads, otherwise it would look weird).

	Lords Hansard text for 20 Jan 2003 (230120-13)
		I have taken an interest in the matter of the Worshipful Company of Vintners in the City of London, referred to in this clause, since its affairs were addressed in the White Paper.
		That was partly due to a then constituency interest, and because the company's privileges date back to a royal charter under King James I of England and King James VI of Scotland.
		I raise the point at this stage only to secure an acknowledgement from the Government in Committee that my account is not at variance with their view and that they intend to include company-related matters discussed between the company and the department in regulations at a later stage.
