The Platinum Jubilee

I recorded the Trooping of the Colour and will watch it later.  I can't wait to see all the pictures of the festivities in the UK and I hope the Queen's health is still good enough she can enjoy this wonderful day!

Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of my visit to Buckingham Palace.

The Queen looked amazing!

The Prince was still in good health

On the grounds, if you ever get invited, wear flat shoes!
I read that before I went and I did.  Some ladies actually took their shoes off as they sunk in the grass

 

Not my picture, taken from the roof of Buckingham Palace
8,000 people get invited to each of four parties every spring

We were fortunate it was a hot day, so we sat in the shade

There was a garden party last week and it rained!  I saw the Duchess of Cambridge in a gorgeous outfit, with an umbrella and she looked unfazed!  They are incredible hosts.

There was tea, coffee, apple juice, sandwiches and gorgeous cakes.  Great presentation.

The Queen and Prince left and we all walked through the palace to the Mall!  It was great walking through the palace.  We were asked not to take pictures inside.

A day I will never forget!
