In Brave New World, what important person has Bernard invited to his reception?

The answer to this question can be found in Chapter 12 of
this excellent dystopian novel. Bernard has organised a big reception to present "the
Savage," otherwise known as John, to the upper-castes of his society. He is doing this
to continue to try to raise his popularity in his society. Because of his friendship and
associations with John he has suddenly found a new popularity - women invite him to
their bed and any talk of his inferiority is forgotten because of his relationship with
John. Thus by trying to have this reception Bernard is attempting to continue to promote
his own social standing. However, even though "the Arch-Community-Songster of
Canterbury" has attended the reception, John decides not to attend, which is the action
which triggers the start of Bernard's downfall:

In the end Bernard had to slink back,
diminished, to his rooms and inform the impatient assembly that the Savage would not be
appearing that evening. The news was received with indignation. The men were furious at
having been tricked into behaving politely to this insignificant fellow with the
unsavoury reputation and the heretical opinions. The higher their position in the
hierarchy, the deeper their
resentment.
