A delightful afternoon spent in the gardens of Buckingham Palace along with several thousand other people. What started as a very overcast and chilly day changed to a bright, sunny and warm afternoon at about the time Sandra and I joined the long queue to enter the Palace grounds.
The event was attended by His Royal Highness Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall. From the Livery the two Sheriffs and their Consorts were also in attendance as were several other Masters and Clerks, most of whom we knew. It was also an occasion where one could chat with a wide range of other guests. We were treated to a delicious tea with a superb choice of savouries and cakes! The large number of people made it almost impossible to meet the Royal couple, although we did manage to get a glimpse of them.
It was nice to stroll around the gardens and lake and listen to the two Military Bands that played alternately throughout the afternoon. A splendid occasion and a pleasure to have been invited.
