finleysmaid Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 hubby works for Fortnum and Masons....they were opening the new restaurant at the start of the diamond jubilee celebrations...my OH was hosting the table for kate! he had a long conversation with her about decorating!! Quote
JacquieL Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I saw the pictures of their visit on the TV. How wonderful. I thought the three of them looked amazing and as for the sweets....yum! So what did you wear? Do you get goodies from Fortnums then? Quote
finleysmaid Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 only had 48 hours notice so wore a dress that i had worn for my SIL 's wedding ( everyone was in the same position.) and no i dont get much from the store....bit pricey on my wages if you saw the pics i was upstairs where they opened the hampers Quote
Guest Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Wow! that must have been amazing! ive applied for the concert tickets which includes a picnic in the palace gardens, do you think the queen will make a apperience? Quote
Fredbear Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 How fantastic. :1b :1b As an avid Royalist i can only imagine how lovely that must have been for you all. I did have the pleasure of meeting and chatting with the Queen Mother when she was alive, also met Princess Anne last year, through hubby's job. :1b Quote
Susan Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Ive been to a Garden Party, courtesy of hubby's job! Invitation came addressed to me though!!! Quote
Inge Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Glad you had a great day and enjoyed it.. remember how I felt going to a Garden Party many moons ago now.. so exciting.. ( have been introduced to the Queen twice and hosted a few royals on visits in my time.. benefits of a service husband) Quote
Rea Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Oooo, how lovely. My mom saw the queen once and said her skin was like alabaster :1b Quote
HappyMaz Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Did you get pictures, finleysmaid? How lovely - there have to be some perks in life don't there? Quote
finleysmaid Posted March 4, 2012 Author Posted March 4, 2012 ooh there are lots of us 'by royal appointment' perhaps steve should give us our own little crown for our posts :rolleyes: No photos im afraid...security was so tight we were not allowed but i am promised that the official ones will be available to us soon. At one point i was on sky TV but of course they only go for the money shots and for some reason i don't sell papers Wow! that must have been amazing! ive applied for the concert tickets which includes a picnic in the palace gardens, do you think the queen will make a apperience? ...i don't know about this one though petuniak6...although Harry always seems to be up for a concert so you never know Quote
Cait Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 It won't let me do a link - screen goes foggy - but if you google 'fortnum & mason queesn visit and go to 'images' there's a quite a lot - are you on any of those? Quote
HappyMaz Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I like your new avatar by the way, finleysmaid! Although I must confess that seeing all the moving ones together on one screen is apt to send me a little :blink: 1 Quote
finleysmaid Posted March 4, 2012 Author Posted March 4, 2012 Finley approved but if its too fast for anyone do tell and i'll try and slow it down (doesn't work for the real Finley though!!) try this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-17220250 you cant see me though i'm just out of shot!
