    :T didnt get that one even though we applied but we did go to the party at the palace! It was a brilliant day and one to remember! Hope you enjoy yourselves! Oh and the 25th June is my birthday too! :T

    My daughter's got tickets, and is taking her brother, and me. Can't wait! Her brother got tickets for the Golden Jubilee Party in 2002, so couldn't believe our luck to be picked again!

    Congratulations. I am sure you will have a fabulous time. I went to the Queen's Jubilee party and it was magical. Don't forget to take your camera I did! It is really weird when you walk through those gates it doesn't seem real. The picnic lunch we were given was delish. Make sure you remember to take ID.

    My eldest daughter also won tickets. She is taking her younger sister and after a fight to see who would be the adult me or her dad i am going as well.

    What is everyone wearing. i found it difficult because there is no dress code?

    see you there

    Linen skirt with embroidery (Per Una) and black linen sleveless blouse for me (no hat, how ever much DD asks). Smart shorts and short sleeved shirt for DS, and new dress (obviously!!) for DD. And flat shoes, and cardis, as it'll be lots of walking around, and chilly in the evening.

    Thanks, your maj, that's my 100th post! ;)

    Getting excited now. DD and friend wearing trouser suits (wanted to be grown-up and sophisticated cos they are all of 10yrs old!) I'm wearing a black and white spotty frock from Hobbs. No hats though.

    See you there :-)
