This is my story of the day that I went to Buckingham Palace to visit the Queen. I first posted it in June 2009 and since then it has become my second most visited blog with almost 21,000 visits.
I have got a different following circle now so I thought it worth posting a link to the story just in case any one is interested…

So, what got you invited?
Also, who took the photos of the food?

Just a stroke of good fortune. Every year local authorities get to make nominations. I worked for a District Council and was lucky enough to get the invite that year.
Cameras aren’t allowed and there are lots of officials around to make sure so I had to find that picture on the net.

I attended a garden party in 2002. We were invited because my (soon to be ex-)husband was a Naval Officer taking a course with the British Army. It was quite an experience.
