The Diamond Wedding of The Queen and Prince Philip is to be celebrated with a special exhibition at Buckingham Palace which will include her wedding dress and the dresses of the bridesmaids and the wedding jewellery and presents itself as a perfect subject for our outing this year.

Tours of the State Rooms of Buckingham Palace and Clarence House have been booked for Saturday 4th August.

Starting at the Royal Mews at 10am, we'll visit the Queens Gallery, which this year is featuring The Royal collection of Italian paintings.

This will be followed by a 45 minute tour of Clarence House, before returning to Buckingham Palace for a tour of The State rooms including the Diamond Wedding exhibition.

The tour concludes by exiting at the rear of Buckingham Palace with a walk round the side of the gardens and out through the bottom wall.

It is only about a 2 / 300 yard walk to Victoria so very convenient for a meal at the same Italian restaurant that we went to last year, ll Posto Ristorante Italiano in Vauxhal Bridge Road .

The coach will pick us up from the restaurant at around 6.15 for the return journey home.

The day will cost £47.50 for the whole package , or £40 if people wish to leave out Clarence House. It easily works out that if you prefer to take longer over say a picnic lunch in St James Park, you can rejoin the rest of the group on their return from Clarence House.

The meal will be optional as well but it is a good opportunity to eat together and for the number involved they do cater very well and the food will be good Italian fare.

If you are interested in coming along, please contact John Oliver.

June 10th was a perfect English Summers day, sunny and hot. Our coach picked up at 7am to ensure an early arrival at The Churchill War Cabinet rooms at Whitehall at 9.40am. London was buzzing with the second rehearsal for The Trooping of the Colour going on in Horseguards Parade just by the entrance to The Churchill rooms. We did get a brief glimpse of the action as we came out of the rooms at around midday.
