Lucinda and I were very privileged to have her neighbour secure for us two very precious tickets to a garden party honouring the queen on her 60th anniversary.Hosted by the lord lieutenants of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire at a luxurious garden in Henley on Thames, it was very special. We parked in a huge green meadow, enjoyed tea, then watched HRH disembark from a royal barge which floated down the Thames. After she was seated in a pavilion we all watched the spectacular "Time and the Thames" a pageant of boats depicting various times on the river from Celtic, to Norman to Viking to East India Co etc up to this century.HRH then did a walk to and from a tea house.Twice we were close enough to touch her!She is amazingly little and very beautiful with a true British peaches and cream complexion and a lovely smile for all her loyal subjects.
