Royal Garden Party


An invitation from the Queen! I was privileged to represent the Council at a Garden Party hosted by Her Majesty at Buckingham Palace. A colleague Cllr. Mary Mugford and our respective husbands enjoyed a perfect afternoon joining 8000 guests at the Palace soaking up the atmosphere. We were greatly impressed by the superb organisation ensuring that everyone had an opportunity to see the Queen at close hand, working her way through specially invited guests to be presented, supported by the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of the Royal Family. Strolling through the vast grounds, past the lake and the Rose Garden and seeing behind the familiar front of Buckingham Palace was really special.

So glad you enjoyed your Garden Party at the Palace. It is an experience to be remembered with much pleasure. One of the many highlights of being Chairman of one of the best authorities in the country! Beryl Austen.
