Had our breakfast then got our best clothes on for the garden party. The coach left the hotel after a few photos at 11.30am and headed to London. The coaches parked on The Mall and we all got off. A few of us went to a pub near the guards chapel for a drink before we went in Buckingham Palace . The gates opened at 2.30pm and we went in through the main entrance.We stopped for a few photos as we walked through the palace to the garden at the back.There was a ceremony by the guards and the band played then the Queen inspected the guards and presented the new colours. We then had afternoon tea ( cucumber sandwiches and little cakes), we walked to the side of the lake and took some more photos. At this point I had to take my shoes off cos my feet were killing but it wasn't a problem , the grass was as smooth as carpet and not a weed in site!!! The Queen then had a walk round chatting to people which gave us the opportunity to take some photos ( not allowed really). We had ice-cream then at 6.00pm we had to start making our way back to the coach. After a lovely day we got back to the hotel for dinner at 8.30pm
