Tuesday 16th May. Together with the neigbouring High Sheriffs from Cheshire and Clwyd, I attended a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. We were all impressed at how immaculately run the party was but also how very relaxed the atmosphere. The Buckingham Palace garden looked very beautiful, the rain held off, the bands played, the tea was delicious, we met a number of other guests from Shropshire and were able to see both Her Majesty The Queen and Prince Philip as they walked down from the Palace to their tent for tea.
