Royal Garden Parties

 

 

Not sure if we have ever had a Crouch End garden designed for

a Royal Garden Party, but, have you ever been to one of

the Queen's Garden Parties?

The doors open at three in the afternoon, and the event takes

place between four and six pm. Normally, the Her Majesty,

Prince Phillip, and the other Royals attending, will usually

at four.

The National Anthem is played when the Queen arrives,
and selections of different types of music will be played
throughout the event by one of the military bands that
will be playing.

The Royal family members, will then mingle with their

guests, through specially created avenues through the
guests called "lanes". Each member of the Royal Family
will meet at random with different attendees, presentations
are made, until they all gradually arrive at the tea tent

reserved for the Royals, and there they will meet further

guests. There are plenty of refreshments, the quantities
available are considerable, standard quantities being
perhaps, just over twenty five thousand cups of tea,

twenty thousand sandwiches, and twenty thousand

slices of cake. Usually there are about four hundred

staff in attendance at the event. The National Anthem is
played again at the end of the event, around six pm,

the members of the Royal Family depart, and the guests 

are left with a day of very special memories!
