5/6/2015 0 Comments By Royal Invitation.. To TeaAs part of the WI Centenary celebrations each WI in the UK was asked to nominate a representative to attend a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace on 2nd June. Debbie Clarke was the lucky lady from BVWI to be picked out of the hat. She travelled to London by coach with other Notts Fed WI ladies on the morning of the garden party. The weather forecast had been very mixed for the day, but in the end the sun shone when it was needed between 3pm and 5pm, although the wind was brisk and threatened a few hats.
The Duchess of Cornwall, the Countess of Wessex, the Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Alexandra were the hosts on the day and they circulated amongst the crowd of 8,000 WI members during the 2 hours. Sandwiches and cakes were served and the band played during the event. Debbie had a wonderful time and shared her experience and photographs with members at our June meeting.
