I had tea at The Palace......
Warning - photo heavy post !!!
Won't chat too much - sadly we weren't allowed to take photos inside the gardens.I must just say though that I was actually about 5 feet away from The Queen so it is probably the closest I will ever get to her. I would so have loved to take a photo but I didn't want to get thrown out !! Prince Phillip was there too and the Count and Countess of Wessex (Edward and Sophie) and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of York. Here are a few memories from the day.....
ready for the offf in the garden...
On the way -past Marble Arch
Lots of these driving around 
Here we are, uh-oh look at all those people...
As Dad can't walk very far he has a disabled badge and we were lucky to get parked right by the Palace and only had to walk across the road - and we went straight in too...
I would have loved to have shared photos of the lovely tea we had, there were cups of tea with little tiny bridge rolls and tiny cucumber sandwiches, tiny scones, ginger cakes - victoria sponge and many other tiny nibbles.
The weather thankfully was sunny all the time. The brass bands played during the afternoon as we wandered around the beautiful gardens -it was hard to believe that we were in the middle of London and was truly something to remember and I am so glad that Dad enjoyed it too.

I'm so happy that you had such a lovely day. Your dad totally deserves to be honoured for all he does. You look like you got some good photos before you went in, shame you couldn't have smuggled the camera into the palace gardens, but it would have been embarrassing to have been thrown out ;-)
Wow - what an awesome memory you have created today! You look absolutely spectacular.
