Garden Party at the Palace!

Moving in the circles that we do, it came as no surprise to receive an invitation from Her Majesty to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace!

So we pitched up in all our finery and enjoyed iced coffee, cakes and of course cucumber sandwiches! We watched the Queen arrive with Prince Philip and then Prince Charles and Camilla arrived, followed by Prince Edward and Sophie. They took about an hour to walk down from the steps of the Palace to the Royal Tent (firmly cordoned off from us commoners!).

The gardens of the Palace were lovely and it was nice to see a side of the Palace that you don't normally get to. Unfortunately we were unable to take our cameras in with us, but I did manage to get a friend to take a few shots of us beforehand - thanks Pip!
