QUEEN CELEBRATES WITH FAIRYTALE BIRTHDAY BASH

The Queen was surrounded by colourful characters on Sunday afternoon when she celebrated her 80th birthday with a huge garden party in Buckingham Palace. Her London home was transformed into a land of magic and fantasy as 2,000 lucky children from all around the UK were joined by a roll call of their favourite fictional characters.

Sophie looked like she had a blast! I'm guessing the little boy she was taking a picture of is a relative because it appears that she is using her own personal camera to do so. If you look at the camera she's using in post 481 and then the one she's using in 494 it looks like the same camera. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

I have a copy of the Order of Service and The Ceremonial Programme from HM's 80th Birthday service in Saint Paul's Cathedral if anyone would like to see them just ask and I would be happy to scan and post them.

She has sacrificed her privacy to attend this momentous occassion. That is admirable.

I would really like to see it, RoyalProtocol. Please, scan it, if it's not difficult for you.

And was that Zenouska Moffat and her brother (both in black) lightly holding hands? I'm sorry but I must add that among all the outstanding looking royals there, Lady Sarah Chatto's unattractiveness was clearly noticeable. Poor thing.
They are indeed Lady Rose and Lady Davina with Lady Davina's husband. As for Zenouska Moffat - I believe you are referring to the Earl and Countess of Ulster? I have always found Lady Sarah Chatto to be a lady of poise and quiet dignity which I find immensely attractive.
Thanks for the beautiful photos.
